Darling Axe Editing @darlingaxe.com · 27/12/2024If you are going to use multiple points of view, make sure the alternate POV characters are given depth, their own voice, their own distinct motivations, as well as meaningful relationships and an arc (even if subtle). #writingcommunity #writingtip 2172
Sarah Kozloff @sarahkozloff.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Just to start discussion: Suppose I don't "believe in" character arcs. Do people really change over the course of events? Isn't this concept indebted to an outmoded (pseudo-Freudian) model of personality? Maybe fine for coming-of-age stories, does it have to be mechanically applied to every genre? 310
