Deep POV: Excercises in Perception (Worksheet)

Stories that use deep point-of-view (POV) have become highly sought after, because the deeper perspectives allow readers to fully immerse themselves into a story. But understanding how deep POV works takes more than just showing how the character reacts to something. To truly use a deep perspective, you need to show readers how that character thinks.

The exercises in this worksheet are designed to help you get inside the head of various characters all looking at the same scene. Each character will focus on different elements, because different elements will be important to that character. Take the time to work through each exercise in turn, and start to develop an understanding of how deeper perspectives work.
