Point of View

I assume now you have chosen your characters. Now you need to raise the matter of the story's point of view. The point of view acts like a narrative voice of the story.

Some of you might ask: Why should we bother? We're writing for ourselves.

I myself do not believe in such statement. You write because you want somebody to read your story. If not, why bother to write it down? You can keep them floating on your mind if you want to keep them as your own pleasure.

The so-called-point-of-view is believed to be divided into 3 main categories: first and third-person narratives.

Third person point of view:
It is a safe way to choose this point of view, because we believe that we are being told a story, and the writer is in control of the material. The writer will lead them safely until the story ends. To make this technique succeed, you need to know what you are going to write. You need to take a good care of it, to make it interesting, so that people will 'listen' to your story. Here is an example for a third person point of view:

Spencer Hastings should have been sleeping at six thirty on Monday morning. Instead, she was sitting in a therapist's blue-and-green waiting room, feeling a little like she was trapped inside an aquarium.
— Sara Shepard, Perfect

First person point of view:
I'm Rose. Rose Greta Patricia O'Neil. Rose. Not short from Rosemary, Rosa, or Rosanne. Just Rose. The name is an embarrassment. I'm not beautiful or delicate or sweet smelling. I'm not even pretty.
— Maureen McCarty, Rose By Any Other Name

There is no right or wrong when it comes to decide which point of view you'll pick. The aim is to achieve the effect you would like to achieve. Love your material first, thus it'll come alive without missing any single details.
