Kay: Going Deep with POV

Just recently my critique partners returned a couple of chapters I’d submitted of my latest WIP with “POV?” marked prominently throughout.

[Deep and profound sigh] We all know what point of view is—that’s the angle or the character who’s telling about or seeing the scene. Usually I like to flatter myself that POV is something I have a handle on, more or less—as much as I have a handle on anything. But sure enough, this time I’d “head hopped” all over the place. It’s beautiful in my head. In their heads, not so much.
