Deep Point of View refers to getting inside your character and
writing almost from their first-person perspective. It’s POV
that connects the reader to the character’s emotions, letting
the reader become closer to the story, more involved. Even
without “Deep POV,” you can tighten your writing by being aware
that EVERY word counts. Each word, phrase, paragraph, scene, and
chapter should work together to progress your story either by
revealing GMC or dropping a clue that will help the reader
understand something at a later point. Deep POV ties emotion to
actions and reactions, and connects the current action to what’s
going on inside the character’s head (introspection, emotion,
reaction). Since people think in specifics, letting our
characters think in specifics brings the reader closer to that
character and WHY they’re thinking what they’re thinking at that
exact moment. When you’re deep in a character’s POV, the
character doesn’t keep secrets from himself (a Suzanne Brockmann
