#176: Beyond First and Third Person: 3 Tips For Writing Point Of View
Feb 06, 2024 Season 5
Nanci Panuccio

There's a lot of confusion about the difference between who's telling the story  (first or third person), and point of view.

I'll see stories with no point of view,  a watered down point of view, or a confused and unfocused point of view.
 
Who's narrating your story is not the point of view.

They're related. But they're separate elements that serve different purposes.

So in this episode, I'm going to tease apart narration from point of view.  And then I'll share 3 key points to craft a strong point of view.
