IWSG ~ View Matters
I'd like to start by thanking everyone that commented on last month's post, where I was questioning, well . . . pretty much everything. Your advice and encouragement was priceless. I've accepted all that's happening to my family right now, but I've decided that I do still love being a storyteller. Thus, my focus will be on taking care of our ailing family members and helping to run our family business, all while banking my experiences and interactions to use in my writing. I might have to write at a slower pace now, but I will continue writing books.Okay, moving on to this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group's post and a huge thank you to this month's awesome co-hosts - Fundy Blue, Beverly Stowe McClure, Erika Beebe, and Lisa Buie-Collard! You all RAWK!
IWSG March Question:Whose perspective do you like to write from best, the hero (protagonist) or the villain (antagonist)? And why?
MORE PARTICIPANTS
Love this question! So far, in my middle grade novel MOTLEY EDUCATION and its sequel currently on submission, I've written from the perspective of both the hero and the villain. The majority of the story is told from the hero's POV, past tense, third person close; however, I toss in a chapter here and there from the villain's POV to give a different angle of the world I'm creating. Plus, the villain's view of the world and his/her personal backstory is always so much fun to create! For my young adult novel MARKED BEAUTY, I wrote from two separate perspective, both heroes of the tale. I did utilize my male hero as the window into the villain's persona and past, though. I really enjoyed writing his perspective that way. What about you? Which is your favorite POV to write from? AND what about reading - which point-of-view to you rather read?
