Choosing A Point Of View Character Part One

Choosing a point of view character Part one

Here is more great writing advice from Life, the Universe, and Everything. The theme of the presentation is choosing a point of view character part 1.

Like to have a general outline of who the character is. Age, past,
A character must always be changed and changing something.
One choice of point of view would be a character that fits the genera.
Is your character strong enough to carry an entire book?
In a scene: which character is going to have the greatest emotional climax.
The person is the principal party of the action. Even though they may resist but you keep building pressure until they become the person of action.
Who is the most interesting person to read about or will respond in an interesting way?
3ed person, maybe comes from about 3 characters (for military) chose the character who has the most interesting perspective for that scene. Who has the most emotional impact?
What attitudes should a point of view character possess that warrant them to be the point of view character? What do you want to accomplish in the scene?
Characters need to be interesting. Anything that makes that reader where the read her huh? And they want to read more.
Point of View character can be interesting by making them distinct. If a character can’t predict their actions by past behavior then character feels flat.
Interesting is having an internal conflict within. Especially if it considers on the outer conflict. Hopefully, you’re rooting for them.
Strong, one character makes a decision. Don’t have your character be a leaf on the wind. The character is the wind. I’m going that way.
Fantasy loth the farm boy who is destined to be king. Love character who could easily be the villain depending upon the point of view. Likes people who are objectively terrible. Readers can understand why they did what they did.
Some authors will have a section of the book where they see the point of view of the villain. Denial Abraham: fantasy series. Ie: dagger and the point.
The challenge of writing villains, you can lose some of the mystery of that villain.
Villains are the hero of their own story.
To write a character write them so that they are different. A character over blows anything uses long sentences and words. That is her type of personals.
Go over the scene with a character’s quires; write the style that goes with them.
Your villain scene needs to add something that is new.
Keep in mind what people want to read. Readers dropped out of Dune when the author had character rape boys who looked like Paul.
