POV Swap

POV Swap reveals something fundamental about storytelling: the same events become completely different stories depending on who's telling them. Write the same scene three times, each from a different character's perspective.

Perspective Changes Everything

You'll discover that perspective isn't just a technical choice—it's the heart of how meaning gets made. An argument looks very different from each side. A mysterious stranger is only mysterious to someone who doesn't know them.

This exercise builds practical skill: writing distinct character voices. When you inhabit three different minds in quick succession, each character has to think, notice, and speak differently.

Three Minds, One Scene

Choose a scene—it can be something from a current project or something you invent on the spot. Write it from the perspective of your first character.

When you're done, the exercise prompts you to rewrite the same scene from a second character's point of view. Same events, same setting, but filtered through a different mind.

Finally, write it a third time from yet another perspective.
