Deciding who is telling your story--that's a big moment in writing a book.
But even more important is deciding where your narrator will be standing, as he or she tells the tale. Is the narrator speaking in real time, as the story is happening?
Or from what's called the "retrospective" point of view, looking back from the distance of years?
Which narrative point of view will best serve your story best? And if both will, how do you move back and forth between them, weaving them together to make a cohesive book?
