#WritersCoffeeClub day 5: How do you choose the point of view for a new story?
So far, I only have the one story, and it's multiple POVs. I chose that because it's the story of a City, and a very diverse one at that; there's no way any single POV could possibly do it justice. Also, the diversity of viewpoints, of experiences, in a City is why I wanted to write stories about Cities in the first place. 1/3

That said, each scene requires that I choose a single POV for it.¹ In that way, each scene is its own little story. And I've been working off the advice that I read somewhere online recently (I'll have to see if I can remember where), that said to tell it from the POV of the person who's got the most at stake emotionally. 2/3 #WritersCoffeeClub
