I'm glad this helped.
Just so you...Elizabeth,<br /><br />I'm glad this helped.<br /><br />Just so you know, though, if you're given the general critique that "POVs need work," sometimes, in addition to what I wrote about in this post, there's a concern that POVs aren't "deep" enough. Characterization and point of view concerns can overlap in certain ways, and one of those ways is when there's not enough perceived distinction between characters for it to be clear whose POV is in the forefront of any given scene. So, POV is about who's perspective a scene is from, but it's also about clearly establishing what that perspective is and clearly associating that perspective with that particular character.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />MargaretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498845843905507548.post-57272297815236865782010-09-27T18:21:03.017-04:002010-09-27T18:21:03.017-04:00Thanks, Margaret.

I've recently received some critiquing that tells me my POVs need work--was just struggling with it today, as a matter of fact. Elizabeth PalladinoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
