I am starting a new chapter in my life..... |
|
I started job hunting today...... sort of. I am working with my new friend Audrey (employment specialist) to get ready to go job hunting. We're going to be redoing my wardrobe (somewhat) and doing practice interviews and such. This is where the journey will be documented for posterity. I also will throw in news about my writing now and again as that is what the site is for. Okay, so there are scraps of anything that might affect my life ... |
A question: I've heard point of view described as the view from the camera on top of a character's head. Sometimes it is wired into their psyche. I think most often it is not. Lately in my novels, the camera seems to jump between characters...... My novel, "Rage of Envy Rewrite Project"  , for example, the camera jumps between two characters, the girlfriend of the accused and a police detective. The accused, the gf, and three other boys, are on the run. There is very little contact between these two characters through most of the story. It is just told from the two points of view.My other novel that I'm working on, "Birchwood Manor" , is about five characters stuck in a haunted manor...and the point of view camera jumps between all of them. I'm trying to use third -person-omniscient without delving into their heads.I would be the second to tell you that I have trouble handling point of view in my stories. (The first to tell you would have been my Writing group leader if he were still alive. Then he would give me a lecture about staying in tense, which I am worse at.) You don't even want to see what happens when I try to delve into a character's head. I end up with three page monologues, just for starters. It gets even uglier from there. so I put it out to you, dear WdC members. Am I going about it okay, or am I full of bologna? Please ignore this if it confuses you to no end. |

Stress = not good. Have no advice though. Breathe? I'm coming out of high anxiety and depression. It's been a slow uphill struggle.
