PERSPECTIVE (how)
FIRST PERSON
Use “I,” “me,” and
“we” in your writing.
EXCITED
The protagonist is
curious and playful
about what’s happening
SURPRISED
Starting with the
question “How in the
world did this happen?
SECOND PERSON
Writing to “you.”
Less common but
can be powerful.
THIRD PERSON
“They,” “them” (“her,”
“him”). Common,
like the cold.
Avoid:
Disappointed (“should have”),
superior (“obviously”),
reductionist (hindsight bias)
