Choosing a Point of View (POV) for your story is one of the most important decisions you have to make.
I hope the following chart will help you. It's also a good tool to examine other writers' stories.
Happy Writing!

Hi Raum!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this chart!
I totally agree with you that POV is very important in the decision making process.
Sometimes the author's choice of POV can be a distraction when reading.
For example, when reading ELJames Fifty series, which is written in First Person Singular, Distant(present tense)
I found it to be quite an adjustment compared to the other kinds of POV I was used to.
Most authors dont even use First Person, let alone writing in present tense.
I enjoyed this in reading ELJames story, even though I find I have to go through an adjustment process in the beginning.
Once I get into it, it becomes less and less of a distraction and I enjoy the ride.
I remember Stephanie Meyers telling us in an interview that she was told you cannot publish in First Person.
It was cool that she did, and opened up a whole new opportunity for future budding authors!
Have a great day, Raum !
Thank you, dear Holly!
