5 Tips on POV

Feb 21, 2010

I’ve gotten a couple of questions that relate to POV lately, so I thought I’d sling up 5 tips on it (Point of View.) Narrative mode, or Point of View, is the vantage point by which an author exposes his plot to the audience. Got that? It’s how your plot is given over to the reader. So that’s your golden rule of POV: if the POV isn’t moving the plot along in some way, shape, or form, then don’t use it. You’re wasting your time and your reader’s. I won’t really touch on the POV types, since Google is your friend, but I will say that I write in third person limited, so this little entry is going

2 Steps to Developing Your Character

Can you help me learn how to describe characters better? I need a little assistance. This question came to me by a good friend and watcher of mine, and as I began to write him back I realized. Ya, know...I've never written a non-fiction work before, and I haven't submitted anything today. Maybe while typing this advisor message I can thereby help, not only my friend, but other writers as well. So after much thought, I think I am prepared to answer my friend's question in more detail. -- [1] The best way to introduce readers to your character is with subtlety and ease. Rather than simply bombarding the reader with fact after fact about y

Quick Guide: Story Organizing

A Quick Guide to Organizing Your Fantasy/Sci-Fi Novel I'm going to try and briefly cover World Building specifically for Fantasy and Science Fiction (though it will apply in general to any setting), both major and minor Characters, and some basics of Timeline here. I am not going to walk you step by step through how to write your own story, but you should (hopefully) get some useful tips out of this. I never used to organize my novels before I started writing. I have so many stories in my head, I would just pick one and start writing. I didn't have trouble keeping to the same details of a given character because I knew them so well. But afte

How Not to Tell a Story

After being on DeviantArt for a few years now, I've noticed patterns in people's stories. Patterns, that I can't say I've ever seen until I started using the internet. I believe that's because these kind of patterns are thoroughly unprofessional. The pattern in short is this: Character = victim Plot = bad things happening to said victim Maybe this sounds harsh. It's not if you understand that is ALL there is to these stories. They take any character, hurl them into a tragedy and that's it. Let's get this straight: We do not know your character well enough to care about them yet. No matter how bloody and gutty their injuries are, no matter

Getting Sucked into the Universe

Getting Sucked into the Universe The number one complaint for the "getting sucked into the universe", typically for a fan fiction, is that it's overdone. Well, like I said in "Clichés and Self-Inserts," if a writer feels they can spice it up or add their own flavor, let them. I normally don't like reading them either, but I'm not going to post a review telling them that this has been done before and for him or her to stop writing it to think of something "more original." That's just plain rude, and who knows, maybe there is something very unique to give the story an extra twist. Although, there was one story I did like, and it was m

I present five common pitfalls for your consideration. 1. The Mary Sue Of course. Regardless of whether it disguises itself as a fursona, an OC in a fanfic, or some other spurious creation, the Mary Sue lurks everywhere. I understand the appeal of this kind of prota

Tips on: How to make an original species?

Apr 11, 2014

I got asked by a few people but I wrote out this response to jasper-chan's ask on my tumblr. since it's all written out I feel like it'd be at least somewhat appreciated to those who are curious of what I keep in mind while making an original species WARNING it's a little messy but if you are confused then feel free to ask me questions I'll do my best to answer properly In general I’d suggest to think "what physical characteristics should be involved with my species? and how can i make it unique?" for a species to be a species (especially closed species) there should be at least some distinctive physical trait that they're born with.

Points of View, Tone, Mood and Setting.

There are many elements to keep in mind while writing your story. You think you already know everything, and you're eager to start writing, but…there's more, such as Points of view, Tone, Mood and Setting. Points of View are the narrator's position on the story being told. Okay, what on Earth does that mean? Well, to put it in simple terms, it's the point of view that allows what you can and can't see in a story. For example, in some stories, you may be able to read the character's mind, but in others, you cannot. There is a simple reason why this is… There are many different points of view! FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW: Whil

A Guide to Writing Combat-Related Mental Illness

Coming Back from Combat: A Writer’s Guide to Combat Related Psychological Illness in Fiction The aim of this guide is simple: plenty of people want to write about war, to explore it, to understand it and understand soldiers they know who are in it or have come from it. But, often times putting the aftermath, the pain, and the psychological impact war has on the mind into words is difficult to do well. This guide exists to help fiction writers accurately portray psychological disorders in their work, because the people who suffer from these disorders and their loved ones deserve honesty and do not deserve to be misrepresented.
