Hey, friends!
Welcome to this quick bonus episode of the Writers' Doubt Club. I'm Raya, and I'm here with Tierney, Susan, and Anna for a short but powerful chat about something that trips us up all the time as writers: point of view and tense. We know these choices can feel small, but they can shape the way your reader connects with the story. So, if you're not quite sure what point of view or tense you're writing in, or if you've accidentally switched halfway through, we've got you covered.
In the Writer's Doubt Club workbook, which is available on Amazon, we've included a short section with questions to help you identify and stay consistent with your POV and tenses. It's great if you're mid-draft, feeling a little foggy, or if you're editing and realize things just feel off. Think of it like a self-checklist.
Join us as Susan and Anna share their experiences with point of view and tense choices for their characters. From third person past tense to third person limited, we discuss how the right choices can strengthen your story's impact.
There's no right choice; it's all about what supports your story and your character's voice. And if you're ever unsure, that's when our workbook comes in to help you get ideas or organize the ones you already have.
Whether you're writing fast and free or doing a careful revision, take a moment to double-check your point of view and tense. Your future self and your readers will thank you!
All right, that's it for today's episode. Grab your workbook, keep writing, and we'll see you on the next episode. Bye, friends!
