Writing Great Fiction

(vip2019) #1

  1. Pick a stressful or contentious situation between two characters—an
    argument between a husband and wife, for example, or an interrogation
    scene in which a detective is trying to get a confession out of a suspect.
    Then, tell the scene three ways: once in the close third person from
    the point of view of one character, such as the detective; once in the
    close third person from the point of view of the other character; and
    once in the omniscient third person, showing the same situation from
    a godlike perspective.
