For example, if you're doing omniscient, you can zoom in and out all you want because your narrator is outside the story. But if you're doing a close third or first person POV, zooming outside the narrator feels like a POV shift. <br /><br />So if you're doing omniscient, stay with that omniscient narrative distance. If you're doing a tight third, stay with that. Don't shift from tight third to omniscient willy nilly.Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-57104859768792084792020-12-10T06:39:05.843-05:002020-12-10T06:39:05.843-05:00Oh good, thank you.Oh good, thank you.Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-4606296996591457632020-12-10T06:38:53.287-05:002020-12-10T06:38:53.287-05:00Glad you liked it!
