I write everything in deep pov. When I first started I wrote only 3rd person, and my first editor gave me a few tips. Before I knew it I had absorbed more than she probably intended in that tiny lesson and delved into a world I now know is deep POV. I didn’t even know it had a name. I just wrote what I felt.

It’s exciting to know that for at least this one thing, I have what the publishers are looking for. Now if only NY would look for the TYPE of material I write, that would be even better.

But you are correct – the author must put themselves in the position of the character which is exciting and fun, but when you write borderline horror, like I do, that can be quite nerve wracking. We won’t even whisper about the # of nightmares I’ve had after writing a really rough scene.

Shirley,
Ouch!

If I’d noticed it, I would have changed it.

Thanks.

Wow. So all this time I’ve been writing in Deep POV? It’s neat learning that the form of third person I use has a name. XD

Thanks for a great summary of this style — I’m trying to master it and this was a big help!
