Continuing their discussion on POV, the Writing Excuses hosts examine the intimacy of second person POV. While first person may seem more intimate, second person brings the reader into the story as a character. They examine several versions of second person POV, which varies depending on who represents “you” from the narrator’s perspective. “Is it the reader? Is it another character? What happens when “you” appears in a letter within a story?” they ask. They discuss when to use it in your writing and how to use it to deepen your story.
