POV stands for Point of View!

When we talk about point of view in literature and writing, we're not talking about at what angle the picture was taken, or referring to the saying, "take a walk in their shoes."  Point of view is about the narrator of a story and what the supply for the reader from what they know.  There is obviously 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person which involve point of view.  Each point of view gives a different angle to the story.  When a story is written from a first person narrative, the reader can understand more about the narrator and know how they feel.  While when the narrator is a third person narrator, the reader can lose how the characters may feel, but through there actions and the narrator's descriptions of the settings and situations, the story can have a completely new perspective.

ReDo: A Blog About a Blog

Well MY BAD, I clearly did the wrong thing in my last blog for the assignment.  I picked out a blog that reviewed books, in fact I picked two blogs, so let's do a redo.

So I think I found one that I am thoroughly enjoying, and isn't that hard to figure out.  This one is called fictionaut and it is a blog that allows writers to submit, read, and comment.  The usual.  There is a lot of flash fiction, which I like a lot, but there are plenty of other categories to explore.  I read a lot of stories on there because I wanted to make sure it was something that I would actually use.  One that I really liked was "My First Serial Killer", if you have the time, read it.
