Narrator writing…

Has anyone written a story as the narrator? I’ve tried to do it but have slipped into to character POVs.

Does anyone have any hints, tips, examples, useful links, advise??

I basically want it to be a story told by someone on the outside looking in.

Tagging some people I think may have experience/be able to help/I admire (sorry if I’m bugging you-feel free to ignore) and to anyone else who reads this a signal boost/opinions are appreciated. 💜

Writing Tip Wednesday: Finding Your Big Wonder

The Big Wonder

So, stories tend to need that internal motivator/quest/motivation to keep their plot chugging forward and to keep the reader engaged. As you know, I talk about desire lines way too much, which are all about the emotional through-line for the characters in our stories, but another way to think about the internal motivation is to think of it as the Big Wonder or Big Question.
