RE: The Eye of the Beholder: Different POV's in Writing
Very good summary. Like it very much. One Question: The Limited POV can be in first or third person correct?

Thank you for your kind comment. My next post will go more in depth on limited POV and the various tense and person options it offers. ;-)
Glad you liked it.
Happy to have read it. :)
If you want to discuss this, or other writing matters, you are always welcome for a chat over at our Discord server. ;-)
I know. You invited me a few weeks ago. I have the feeling that I have nothing worthy to contribute as of now, that's why I still didn't joined. :/ More like writers fear than writers block.
I remember inviting you but suspected something like this. That's why I'm poking at you... (Sorry, not sorry)
We work with writers of all levels of experience and language backgrounds. Some come in and acclimatise for a bit before actually beginning to submit their work. That's OK too.
We have one thing in common and that is our love for the written word. Promise we won't bite. I just ate, anyway so no reason to worry. ;-)
Haha thanks. I have the link to the discord group in my favorites since that day. Still won't promise, but I want to try and hopefully will get over my shadow soon. :)
Yes, join us, we have cookies!
Okay, not really, but we have something better than cookies: community support. I was afraid the first time I joined as well, being completely new to writing and not knowing much. Most of us are very young to writing and the mechanics of it all. It seems daunting, I know. That's your inner critic speaking. Believe me, that inner critic doesn't know his shit.
@mark-dahl don't underestimate yourself. I ventured in there as just a rank amateur and they didn't rip me to shreds... actually i don't think they even scratched me. The place will grow on you.
You asked an intelligent writer question that I came out of my cave to answer. That proves you have something to contribute. Please join us. It's easier "in person" on discord to connect you with the right resources for where you are now in your journey.
Now I am off to hermit again a bit...
You are all very kind @bex-dk, @pathtosuccess, @anikekirsten (hope I didn't forget anyone). I will have a look soon. Thank you so much :)
Correct. The pronouns are different but the basic ideas are the same. Some character's voices fit better with one or the other... or perhaps the author has more luck finding their voice with one or the other.
Thanks :)
