How do I decide whether to use first-person or third-person deep POV?

In reply to Kris. Awesome! Glad to hear it! Once you go deep, you never go back.

In reply to Matthew. I have written quite a lot with specific examples on my personal blog and here on WITS over the years. Only you can say whether you're going deep enough. I would encourage you to find other writers who really understand this technique and get feedback from them on whether you're going deep enough to really connect emotionally with readers.

In reply to Areej. Yes. AI cannot properly write in deep POV -- it tries, but it still can't properly grasp the depth, the breadth, and intensity of emotions.

I see you save all the "tools" for your class 😫 My present WIP, third person limited, is deep POV even if light (not absent) on emotion. The character is the center of every scene. Nothing ever happens away from the main character's view or hearing or one of her other senses. The author is entirely absent except a very occasional, only ever one sentence, address to the reader. Is that deep enough?

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your great explanation of deep POV. It helps clarify this style of writing for me.

In literature, examining Deep POV genuinely reveals character connection and emotional depth. It's amazing how writers may effortlessly accomplish this narrative style with the aid of a <a href="[Link deleted]professional ghost writing service, particularly when expressing intricate inner thoughts. Gaining proficiency in these methods gives every written work more strength and authenticity.

I suppose I could have been more detailed in my comment. When I use Deep POV in Science fiction, I use it for the immediacy, the rawness of the thoughts, the body language. Yes, emotions play into it as well. My pacing is much improved without all the explanations and framing I used to use. And Deep POV is a constant challenge to get it right.

In reply to Lisa Hall-Wilson. Never thought of myself as a pioneer - more as an outlier. I published the first volume in 2015, the second in 2022. I'm also an extreme plotter. It has been an interesting ride. Pioneer. I like the sound of that. But it hasn't much value unless other people hear about it and read/follow. And few people know my work, even though PURGATORY was Indies Today 2021 Best Contemporary novel. I finally gave up and hired a publicist; waiting to see what she can do. I'm way too obscure in this media-glitzy marketing environment - and have to spend what energy I have WRITING the final volume... Pride's Children is meant to be my legacy, but that's a joke if no one ever hears about it.
