POV - Omniscient

Omniscient POV is simply "being God" as the reader. It means that we, as the reader, are told the action as if we are looking at it from above or on a TV screen. It is not channeled through a character's senses or viewpoint.

Really great posts!

When I first started out I had no idea what POV was. But once I figured it out, it became one of my pet peeves. :)

Interesting. Now I need a for instance (I'm a bit of a slow learner on completely new "stuff".)

Never mind. I'm reading in reverse order and just saw the example posted previously.
