Question: Do you like this pt of view for my story!?
okay, im writing a story and im thinking of writing it like this:

Part One, Sid's pt of view: i guess you can call him like the second main character, but anyway, its his pt of view and he's a really important character so to see things through his eyes is pretty significent!.

then Part Two, will be the main character's pt of view!. i dont have a name for her yet, but the story revolves around her!. sorry i dont want to talk too much about the plot, but she is the absolute main character, and well pretty much the hero of whats going on in the story!. From this point it will be through all through her eyes, and it the story will end in her pt of view!.

so what do you think!? i've read stories where they'll title the character's name and then it will be their pt of view, and they will change it every couple of chapters or w/e, but i dont want to confuse the readers with it, so im sticking to the two main characters!.
anyway, give me ur opinions!.
pls and thnx!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think that your idea of having the first part of the book told from the point of view of the secondary character is somewhat unorthodox, but there are no hard and fast rules that would prohibit your writing in that way!. It's your story, and if you think that it will work best in the format you've chosen, then, by all means, adopt the concept!. Just write the story as you imagine it to see how it will manifest!. Your first attempt will be a rough draft in any case!. You seem to have the story well plotted, and if it will work best, in your opinion, as you describe it, you know better than we do what you should do!. Good luck, whatever you decide!

Very interesting!. I hope to read more of your writings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, it's good to have other points of view!. That way it doesn't get repetitive or boring with what only ONE person is doing!.

You could also try ominiscent, which means no point of view but it'd be presiding over everything!. So the readers know EVERYTHING that's going on, and then you can switch it back to one POV then to another!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
