That’s the end of the Structure Unit chapter introductions. Coming up next: Character. When? Oh, you know. Soon. Probably. Haven’t started it yet. End of April maybe?
Tentative Plan for Character Chapter:
Character Definition
Character: The Protagonist
Character: The Antagonist
Character: Supporting Characters Roles
Character: The Protagonist/Antagonist Relationship
Character: The Protagonist/Love Interest Relationship
Character: Establishing a Character
Character: Character Arc
Character: Community
Character: Point of View
As always, suggestions go in the comments. And thanks for reading about Structure!
On the POV section, I struggle with “deep” POV. How do you recognize it from “shallow” POV, I guess? How do you get there? Are there questions you can ask the character to go deeper? I’ve been to workshops on it and, I confess, it still eludes me.
Thanks.

You know, I’ve seen so many differing explanations of it.
Basically, it’s just how far into the brain of the PoV character you’ve moved. I find really deep PoV claustrophobic, which is why I use about half deep and half regular, but I never, ever, ever think about it. I have so many other things to obsess over that as long as I don’t headhop, I figure I’m good on PoV.
This is a clear take on one definition:
