Switching Perspectives In Writing Novels & Stories

blue. And thirdly, if you guys have any feedback please don't hesitate to share it with me! I am trying out this new style of different points of view, do you guys like it? Should I continue, stop or simply do less frequent changes of their points of view, so instead of every/every second chapter maybe I could change it to every 5 chapters? Let me know! Thankyou! xxx :D

“Huh?” AUTHORS NOTE: Alright, I think I'm not very good at writing in first pov since it's my first time and that's why I'm still mixing first and authors together so as to give myself some momentum and also describe what's going on with others. However, if you think that authors pov suits me more or first pov suits me more, could you please say in the comment section? Thankuuu

It arrived. The second notebook's account was structured differently from the personal record. Where the personal record had moved from the break toward the healing toward the gate letter for the person standing outside, the second notebook moved from the present moment outward — from the specific act of making an introduction or writing a gate letter or seeing a missing thing, toward the understanding of what the act required and what it produced.

Not wanting to answer any more questions of hers, he spoke up, “You decide whether it will be from a girl’s perspective or a boy’s.” Becca put the back of the fountain pen on her cheek, thinking whether it was a good idea or not. “What if we write it in such a way that it can reflect feelings of a person? Like, it can be from a boy’s perspective, also a girl’s or maybe of a trans as well.” “That sounds like a great idea,” Lucas said and shoved the notebook towards Becca. “You write it. If Mr. Risorito sees my handwriting, he will make us write three more poems as a punishment for not taking his words seriously.”

he murmurs, his eyes lingering on me before he steps away. I turn my focus back to the screen, feeling the weight of the story pressing against my fingertips, and dive into the chapters from his point of view. Each line becomes an exercise in truth, revealing bits of him that even I hadn’t fully realized before. I let myself go deeper, daring to write with honesty, capturing the tension and rawness of his thoughts, feeling his intensity seep into every sentence.

they ask. I answer honestly. Then add, “But that’s not a recommendation.” They smile. “I know,” they say. “I just wanted perspective.” Perspective. Not permission. That distinction matters more than anything else. The loneliness hasn’t vanished. But it has transformed. It’s no longer emptiness. It’s space. Space where authorship can grow in directions not yet defined. Space where connection isn’t constant—but intentional. Space where I am no longer performing usefulness to earn presence. That night, I write the closing lines slowly:

"After a while, the bracelet will completely tighten around your wrist, and you won't be able to transfer it anymore. When that happens, you'll get zero points for sure." The beggar didn't seem to care about my decision. He lit a cigarette and ignored me. I covered my bracelet and walked back. Maybe he was lying? How could there be something like a Score-Switching Bracelet? It was impossible. In this mock exam, I had checked the answers and I hardly made any mistakes. First place should be mine. But when the results came out, I found myself outside the top ten. First place belonged to my bestie, Camilla.

His supplements were far more than they used to be. In fact, Jonathan was in much better health than he had been in my previous life. My only goal from the start was to make Jonathan distrust Conrad. The first move and second move followed the same pattern. The third move was to create various illusions, making Conrad think the Harmons were supporting Horace to slowly swallow up the Reeses. Once he took action, coupled with Jonathan's long-standing dissatisfaction with him, abandoning him would be inevitable. Of course, I had to thank modern medicine for making this plan possible. Without it, I honestly wouldn't have known how to carry this out.

•───⋅☾ ☽⋅───• POINT OF VIEWS - POVs. This book is written in dual POV, but the perspectives will be included as they fit the storyline. I won't add the MMC’s or FMC’s POV just for the sake of it, especially if it doesn’t suit the scene or the mystery of the plot. I mention this because I know some readers might want more of the MMC’s POV, but every choice is intentional for the story's development. •───⋅☾ ☽⋅───• UPDATES SCHEDULE

I was disappointed in myself for knowing nothing, yet I pretended I did. “You see,” Lawrence uttered as he sat up and met my gaze. “There are things that seem pointless if you look at it from your own point of view. It doesn’t mean you see this and hear this, then you know everything. That’s the main reason why there are many two types of POVs in the story. First-person POV, and Third-Person POV.” He gave me a satisfied smile as he leaned closer.
