I’m embarrassed to write this note, but I feel like the more I read the articles, books and forum messages, the more confused I get.
Let me try this. Which is it, in each case?
Overall story throughline is the story from the perspective of
a) the MC
b) the Overall Characters
c) the author
d) God
e) the StoryMind
f) the audience
or is it ‘just a perspective’ that any of those can latch onto as needed?
MC the story from the Main Character’s perspective
MC is the story from the author’s perspective on the MC
MC is the story from the StoryMind’s perspective on the MC
MC is the story from the audience perspective on the MC
IC the story from the Impact Character’s perspective
IC is the story from the MC view of the IC as a possible other self
IC is the story from the author’s perspective on the IC
IC is the story from the author’s perspective of the MC’s view of the IC
IC is the story from the StoryMind’s perspective on the IC
IC is the story from the StoryMind’s perspective on the MC’s view of the IC
RS. etc
I feel like I should already know this but somehow it keeps wriggling away from me. Help would be appreciated.
Oh also, what’s the deal with referring to it as a context vs a perspective?
