Putting "POV"
I have this sort of book club wherein we exchange reading stories and give useful comments and constructive criticisms. There are some who only writes "nice story, keep it up" and really, what's useful with that? Fortunately, I always get paired with people who aren't one-liners. But that's not what I'm yapping about.
HERE'S THE DEAL:
I've received (sort of) same comments from 3 of them already.
It goes with the line, "You should put whose POV it is so that readers won't get confused."
I don't exactly know what to feel. I somehow considered taking up the advice but I need justification first and so I consulted my writing buddy and she raised her eyebrow after I told her this.
"Haven't they been reading the story? I mean, for real? I don't see what made them say that. When you first made me read it, I've had no problem. WHAT. IS. THEIR. PROBLEM?"
I've always wondered whether she is
sugarcoating her commentaries
but her punches proves me wrong though,
especially when giddy scenes are up.
So I think she must be honest.
Sorry for doubting you, my friend <3
And so I strayed from the topic again -__-
I just don't get it.
Is it really necessary to put whose POV it is when it had been one character's POV all along?
Like, isn't that redundancy or... perhaps idiocracy?
