Writing Tip of the Day--POV

Omniscient POV is that of the God-like all-seeing, all-knowing writer. It’s easy to slide into from Third Person. If you are describing an action or setting not in the direct line of sight of the POV character, or using language unnatural to her or him, you may have inadvertently changed viewpoints.
