Last WW: Feel Free to Be Free
There are a lot of different point of views that one can take when writing a story. First Person, the less popular Second Person, and all the types of Third Person: Omniscient, Limited, and Multiple.
Different POVs are applicable and best for different situations. But, as limited as you may want to make the point of view in your story, you still have to explain a characters actions, of people will be confused. The last thing that you want is for the reader to be sitting around thinking:
Huh? That seems odd and unnatural. I can’t figure this character out at all. Now I’m frustrated and done reading.
