Outsider POV...from the outside...

So one of the things I've really been enjoying with writing "The Ability to Stop" is working with outsider POV. It's the kind of thing that forces you to see a character as those around them might. In "TATS," Team Cap is in Wakanda (not giving away plot points here---it's a canon divergent, post- CACW fix-it, which tells you what you need to know) and I've had to touch on how T'Challa sees the ex-Avengers, and in the current chapter I'm writing, how the various women in the story (many of whom are Wakandan) perceive the other characters.

It's been fascinating because of the forced perspective change. What do these women know that the other characters, the characters they're observing, don't? As the writer, you don't get to play omniscient---all you can write is what one or more "outsider" characters know. And it's...challenging. But fun. (I'm reminded of a story a dear friend wrote once in another fandom, told from the perspective of an unexpectedly alive piece of statuary. Quite the observations that piece of marble had... XD)
