Vocabulary is supposed to be there to help communication.<br /><br />I like your "stream of consciousness" comparison -- though as you pointed out, it can easily be confused with the style of writing.The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-38118081447056856842011-11-18T13:10:03.803-05:002011-11-18T13:10:03.803-05:00See?

I don't use the proper vocabulary to describe what I'm doing. ;-)<br /><br />I write "deep POV", because I like telling the story from inside the head of a character. Her viewpoint is the one I find interesting and want to explore, not just what happens to her. But I never called it that.<br /><br />I always referred to that approach as "third-person stream-of-consciousness"--that is, when I bothered to call it anything. Not SOC as practiced by Joyce, of course, just following the viewpoint character through her thoughts and reflections and observations as well as what she does.<br /><br />Reminds me of my story-a-day project back in 2006, when I was nearly 6 months in before I learnd my little 500-1000 word stories were now called "flash fiction" instead of "short short stories" (at least on the shorter end).<br /><br />Vocabulary. I guess I learned something new today. :-)<br /><br />-DavidDavid Michaelhttp://www.gunsandmagic.comnoreply@blogger.com
