alrighty, y’all. here’s the dealio: I had this book idea that I wanted to be in omniscient POV. but the thing is, whenever I read a story with that POV, I hate it.
So, is there a way to do this POV where the reader won’t feel distant and will still love the characters?

@daughteroftheking so many times I try to explain writer things to non-writers, and they’re just like “um, what?” 😉

Ha, well, “playing” abd “serenading” are probably too strong words. I am teaching myself to play guitar but it mostly consists of me complaining that my fingers can’t do F chord.

@jenwriter17 That’s so exciting! Yeah, I was going to say, “Chatting with my characters,” but that sounds a little looney. I’m being professional and interviewing the people who shall be my companions in my upcoming quest? No, that also sounds crazy. ;P

@daughteroftheking haha, yeah a non-writer would never believe that we have conversations with people we made up.
Now that I say that it sounds just the teensiest bit crazy 😛 😛 😛
I’m editing my sci-fi dystopian. Nearing the end!

@jenwriter17 To develop my characters a bit, I’m writing imaginary conversations with them. It’s fun. I had no idea my MC was an extrovert, but lo and behold, she is! You learn something new everyday. 😛 Whatcha doing?

@seekjustice Ooh guitar? I didn’t know you played guitar 🙂 yeah I’d love if you could stay and chat!
@daughteroftheking Hi! 😉 While Seekjustice is serenading us with guitar music, what are you working on?

I think they’re kind of a weird sci-fi fantasy cross so yeah, I think they count.

@princessfoo alrighty then, discuss away! 😉
I’m reading Bell Mountain, by Lee Duigon. here are some thoughts on it so far: the author uses omniscient POV, which I never liked. It feels a little distant. Also, I think the story could benefit from more description and worldbuilding.

One can forget a story, alter a story, or even throw away a story, but one can never completely abandon a story.

@seekjustice @daughteroftheking @kaya-young @princessfoo @catwing @dekreel I was going to close the opening for voting on Monday, but how about we just close it now? We’ve got quite a few people now and everyone seems to have agreed on fantasy (and historical as our next one 🙂 ).
So how about we just begin discussing?
