This time, you'll need to switch back and forth at least a couple times between two or more characters' points of view. The trick is deciding when you need to get inside each character's head to show what he's thinking, feeling, seeing, hearing, tasting, or smelling. Ask your teacher or librarian to suggest a couple books where the author uses multiple POVs. Realistic Characters . They need to be believable .
Nobody wants to get inside the head of a phony character.
I'd suggest that you review the characterization tips we went over in the Fall '96 Short Story Contest . An Organized Plot . You can review the plotting tips from the Adventure in Your Own Back Yard Contest . Winners will be notified by phone. Samples of some winning submissions will be displayed on the Real Kids, Real Adventures website, but the copyright and ownership of all submissions remain with the individual authors.
