A great post, Winnie! I love trying to use my characters' perspective while describing things and looking at the world while in their POV. I like to use my characters' personalities and careers to help with words choice--especially when I'm trying to dream up a metaphor or simile. Like my golf course owner hero in Back to You. He thought the heroine's tone of voice was like a nine-iron in January. I had fun with that one. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-15426082535484092472018-06-15T18:38:16.869-04:002018-06-15T18:38:16.869-04:00Kathy, congrats on the Genesis final!!Kathy, congrats on the Genesis final!!Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-24372682613599164262018-06-15T18:37:51.360-04:002018-06-15T18:37:51.360-04:00Congrats to all the Genesis finalists!!Congrats to all the Genesis finalists!!Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-51249026602851850402018-06-15T17:27:54.376-04:002018-06-15T17:27:54.376-04:00Such an excellent post!

The key to nailing the character perspective is to be able to really get into their head and their heart - anything less and they just won't resonate strongly with your reader.Winnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-73458227784794684322018-06-15T11:50:43.063-04:002018-06-15T11:50:43.063-04:00Hi Debby.

It seem...Winnie, this is a great, thoughtful post.<br /><br />It seems to me that the author needs to know their POV character intimately to be able to see a situation from their perspective. That means that you can't afford to use a cardboard cut-out hero - he needs to have depth and emotion...and we're the ones who have to give it to him. (The same goes for the heroine, of course, and any secondary characters.)<br /><br />Another reason why writing isn't for the faint of heart!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-49518488551926970532018-06-15T11:34:58.753-04:002018-06-15T11:34:58.753-04:00Hi Debby:

Also is the story truly inspirational or is it just clean and moral? Does the story inspire or does the HEA just make you feel good? Are there heroic actions? <br /><br />Winnie has a great post here today because it inspires many more useful ideas on writing. <br /><br />Does the story make you think in new ways about improving your life? I have to go think more about this. Can't wait for more comments to come in. <br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-41829278953460179982018-06-15T10:57:50.695-04:002018-06-15T10:57:50.695-04:00Hi Winnie,

Some readers enjoy our stories. Others may choose stories that embrace a different culture. Personally, I enjoy stories that include a faith element...something that is at the core of who I am and how I want to live my life.<br /><br />Just my musings on a great blog! <br /><br />Hugs to all!Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-46841496900086580342018-06-15T10:40:45.361-04:002018-06-15T10:40:45.361-04:00Hi Mindy, Reader perspective is a tricky one.
