Blog: The Difference POV Can Make

The inspiration for Crossing Over came from a combination of the painting and a video or news story I once saw. But the flash felt wooden so I tried rewriting it. Tomorrow’s flash is the result of experimenting to get a story to work the way the writer envisioned it.

The flash is to capture an event and a feeling.

First I tried rewriting it by changing the POV from third person to first person. The story still didn’t convey the emotions I felt it should. Finally I found what I believe is the correct POV. Not where I expected it to be at all. Let me know what you think.
