It’s All In The Point of View

Or POV, as we more often say. This is a story, a personal rendition of how I learned how to understand POV. It’s told from my perspective, so it’s in First Person POV. No, I’m not going to talk about tenses. That’s a different matter altogether, and POV is tough enough to get right without … Continue reading It’s All In The Point of View
