#57: Three Essential Pillars of Point of View (That Have Nothing To Do With Which Person Your Write In)

 POV is the thing that flummoxes writers the most. 

A big part of the confusion is a misguided focus on which person you write from.  But this has virtually nothing to do with POV and  confuses writers more than it helps.

So in this episode I’m going to simplify POV for you and distill it into the 3  main things you need to  focus on, so you can develop a strong point of view that gives your story unity, rhythm and resonance.

We'll cover:

• What POV is and how to construct it
• How character desire and significant history shape POV
• How language reflects POV
