![]() If you would like the stepdaughter to be a short-term POV character, introducing her as one in the prologue would not be unheard of. ![]() This may add to the suspense of the story, that both the reader and the character are experiencing revelations at the same time, as opposed to the reader learning things via the stepdaughter and the main character learning them later. If there is exposition required whilst the amnesiac is unconscious, you could always have it so that he discovers these things whilst awake after the fact. Switching between the POV of two characters rapidly within a chapter I think would be unwise, it could be very confusing for the reader to try to establish who they are reading from the POV of if it switches so rapidly. I'd really like to hear some of your advice on how I can 'sell' the protagonist to others, while he has no background and because I don't want to rush the return of his childhood memories, or any memories at all that help him find out who he is. This is also my first time writing in first person view while being an amnesiac, so I am not entirely strong with this knowledge, other than recurring, cropped visions that are mostly unclear until a certain point in time when the individual regains memory. One belongs to the amnesiac, other to the stepdaughter. ![]() This story also uses two POV's that switch frequently throughout the first chapter etc. I am mainly worried about the lack of effect this kind of character development will have on whoever will read this fiction. Now, is this perhaps too early for an amnesiac? Does this reveal too much about the plot in the first chapter? He then gets hallucinations about a snowy terrain which is associated to the man named T. The amnesiac soon gets a headache, due to hearing a very familiar name. Some background characters quietly ask each other, whether lady's warning about T was real. Because of that scream, the other residents of the residence gather around the corpse. They go outside, only to find the lady's guts and blood, sprawled all over her corpse. All of a sudden, an agonizing scream overpowers their ears, and it becomes certain that the source of this bewildering sound is just by the window of the room he was resting in. The amnesiac does not know about T's history in this village.Īfterwards, the stepdaughter waits for the amnesiac to wake up so she can question him about what he saw in the forest before losing conscience. ![]() T was an outcast who did not get along with the members of the village, but found a place in the hearts of the lady, stepdaughter and her father. The letter, addressed to the stepdaughter and her husband, warns them of a man (named T for this question) that died a few years ago. ![]() When the stepdaughter arrives back, she finds that her father and other village members found a letter, seemingly written by the lady. They find the amnesiac unconscious by another tree, deep in the forest and bring him back to village. The village members, expecting her to have come back hours ago, go out to the forest and search for her. Sometime after, the lady goes to another village for an appointment. He runs away minutes after getting treatment, feeling he's become a burden for them. It is made known to him that the lady has a stepdaughter. A nearby lady finds him and takes him in to her residence. I am writing a fictional story which begins with an amnesiac waking up by a giant tree, wounded. It is very hard for me to ask this without an overwhelming amount of information on how the plot goes, so this is just a warning of what's ahead. ![]()
