I thought I knew what I meant when discussing POV but I guess there's a whole lot I haven't explored. Now I know how MOST books are written. I also know there's plenty of "rule-breaking" that is very successful. I just wasn't familiar with the wording to properly express what I was talking about. For example, I try to write a deep third POV with multiple characters. I always termed that Deep Third Limited, acknowledging an alternating perspective, but now I learned that is a version of omniscient--that POV has an "X axis" and Y axis". Interesting. Omniscient/ limited is one direction and subjective/ objective the other. I'd never thought about it before. Rather, my talk about POV took on more of a noble title-type length of descriptors. I'm writing in Deep third limited, subjective and alternating. HAHA Okay, I never SAID that, but I knew what I meant.
here's the Wikipedia break-down and I hope you find it as interesting as I did. At least it allows me to communicate clearer about POV, rather than relying on descriptors or worse, grunts and hand signals, like I felt like I was doing sometimes. Ah language, don't fail me now...
