More on Writing: POV 2, or “Headhopping”
Posted on October 8, 2008
Greetings, all. Thanks for stopping by. Okay, a couple of weeks ago I did a break-down with regard to point-of-view, or what we in the biz call “POV” and some of the different types you can use. You can check that out here.
I tend to be a little ol’ skool in some ways in that when I write POV, I stick to one person’s POV (one person’s head) at a time. The reasons for doing this are that it keeps me as a writer focused, and it allows the reader to really bond with that one character, rather than getting jerked out of someone’s head and flung into someone else’s. When you do that–jump from one person’s thoughts to another person’s thoughts and back again in the same scene (sometimes the same paragraph/sentence)–it’s called “headhopping.”
So come on down and let’s have a chat about it, yeah?
