Keep at it. Once you have all the puzzle pieces, it gets easier. Finding all the pieces - that’s what my struggle was for years. (And why I put together this 5-week course).

Awww - thanks ladies. *blushes* I’m happiest when geeking out about deep pov.

Welcome to WITS, N Christine! I 100% agree with your comment...we are lucky to have Lisa here with us, helping us deepen those POVs. 🙂

This is a very interesting potential solution for me, so I can subtly say "these characters are the MOST important!" (and still let everyone who needs to have a voice say what they need to).

I'm with you, Barb. I want to be in Deep POV but it's a struggle for me. I don't know why. It just is.

I hear what you're saying about remembering the rules of first person to stay in deep POV, even while I'm in third person. Frankly, it's one of the only ways I've been able to start to master Deep POV. I don't know why it's so hard for me, but it is. Especially because I ALWAYS have at least two or more characters who get their own POV.

That's a tricky place to be right. Either you create a reason for the protagonist to think of that information, or often the newby or Watson character asks the question so readers can learn too. SFF uses newbies and Watson's quite a lot. However, it's also true that the reader often doesn't need as much info to understand what's going on as we sometimes think they do.
