Today’s exercise is changing POV for your character.
I am quite excited about today’s exercise and I think it’s great to flip the WIP on its head.
Using your current work, pick a passage featuring your main character. If you’d rather pick a character from your favourite novel, please do.
Now, change the point of view. For example, if you’ve written in first person, re-write in third person and vice versa.
If you wanted, you could also re-write from a secondary character’s point of view.
How did you find it? Did it inspire you to add more to the story and to see another aspect?
by I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.
I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
