on Career Authors:
Point-of-view is how you tell your story — through whose eyes we are seeing and living the fictional world you create. The key point here: this is the world you create.
YA author Lauren Oliver said, “That is the strangest thing about the world: how it looks so different from every point of view.”
And that, in a nutshell, is what makes being a writer so damn fun. You can see the world through different eyes — the eyes of your characters. It’s also what makes POV so important: the story changes based on each POV’s subjective view.
You’ll hear a lot of advice about POV. For new authors, strict rules can be beneficial—until you find your writing chops. Sometimes rules are stifling. I am not a POV purist.
So, what are these so-called rules?

Thanks Chris for sharing Allison’s article. Having been part of a group who have written and published four novellas varying POV has added a great dimension. In one novella, a fractured fairytale each writer decided on a POV for their chapters – the house, the wolf, grandfather clock, and so on. For me, in one of my chapters I wrote on the fabric’s POV, which was so much fun.

Chris,Liked the ‘she sent out a signal to her sisters, via the root-web,’ and the conversations that followed. It’s great mini-evolution story from the trees POV. 🙂
