I digress - as a writer for my half the fun is writing a character with firm opinions and then having to explore the views of the character with the opposing view. I started a novel once which took the story on from three different people's perspectives and I found it one of the most enjoyable things I've ever written, and quite easy. That's because using differing points of view negates the use for back story or much exposition.penny simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443187480937602100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771775388110854391.post-90057042878919835492012-06-09T12:00:09.267+01:002012-06-09T12:00:09.267+01:00You make a good point about people who shove their...You make a good point about people who shove their views down others' throats. Live and let live, I say, and we should all be able to respect each others differing points of view. ( at least in an ideal world!) I tnink we can mostly see others' points of view - it's just that when we feel strongly we become passionate and lose our perspective.Writer Pat Newcombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678017709861817691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771775388110854391.post-70869394899955607042012-06-08T22:37:20.133+01:002012-06-08T22:37:20.133+01:00I totally agree.

I'm often amazed at a person's total lack of awareness that there might even be a different point of view. <br />I think some people are so tightly zipped into their own skin they find it impossible to recognise there might be a different way to look at something.<br /><br />I hadn't followed that thought through to what their writing might be like, but an interesting idea.Shaunahttp://www.shaunabickley.comnoreply@blogger.com
