Creating an Original Character. By Maisha Foster-O'Neal You've heard the old maxim before... 'a character can make or break your story.' Okay, okay, so you want to write an interesting character.
You've got some plot ideas, you know a little bit about your world, but now you need your characters. And not just any old characters - no, these have got to be the most original, most interesting characters your reader will ever come across. First Person Point of View — The Writer’s Craft. When you tell a story through a viewpoint character using I or we, you are using first person point of view.
Example: The banging on my door reverberated within my skull like a giant church bell in an empty hall. I groaned and rolled onto my stomach, pulling the pillow over my head. Every detail of your story must be filtered through the storyteller. This impacts your choice of narrator—it may be, and most often is, your main character. If your main character cannot see, hear, touch, smell, taste, think, know or feel it, you can’t include it. First person point of view is the most reader friendly.

Perspectives — The Writer’s Craft. In order to fully understand point of view in literature, we need to explore the different perspectives from which a story may be told.
Bear in mind that the Perspective is the scene as viewed through the eyes/mind of the chosen character. The story, however, can be told from any one of several points-of-view regardless of the perspective chosen. Single Major Character Viewpoint The story can be told from first, second or third person POV but it is told throughout by just one character. Omniscient Person Point of View — The Writer’s Craft. Basically, omniscient point of view means that the story is told from an all-seeing God-like, omnipotent viewpoint.
You would use third person pronouns in the writing, but you can choose to dip into the head of any of the characters and reveal things that have occurred in the past or will happen in the future. This was once a very popular method of storytelling. It is less so now, especially in the North American market. Still there are some cases where this can add extra dimension to your writing when done well. Joseph Conrad was a master of omniscient viewpoint. The trouble is that each character must have a distinctive voice so that the reader is never at a loss as to whose head he is in at the moment.
