Point of View

Question: I've started writing out scenes for my story but a problem I've been running into is point of view. I decided that I want to write in a kind of middle third person point of view. But I'm starting to think that I'm not quite sure what that means. And I'm starting to think that I might be writing in omniscient point of view which I don't want.

Answer: If you're not writing from an omniscient POV, then you must be writing from a particular character's point of view. Usually that means your main character (though you can have more than one POV character as long as you switch points of view clearly).

I recommend you go over what you have written and make sure you are not switching between omniscient POV and your character's POV. Everything must be seen through the character's eyes. Exclude anything the character cannot perceive. And don't switch POV characters within a scene. (If you must switch POV characters, it's usually better to do so at chapter breaks.)
