One of the interesting challenges and learning opportunities I’ve come across in dabbling with fiction is the process of merging narrator/author voice with character voice.

Both as a reader and writer, close third-person limited is my favorite point of view method (as opposed to first person or third person omniscient) for most stories. This means the narrator only knows what the point-of-view character knows, even though it’s written in third person.

But interestingly, when done closely, it also means the narration itself is colored by the character’s personality. Rather than just come across the page in dialog or in italicized literal thoughts, the rest of the narration is also basically an indirect extension of their thoughts.

And so for example if a character is cynical and curses a lot, then in addition to the dialogue reflecting that, the narration also reflects that. It comes across more cynical and will curse at times. “What a shit day. Bob pulled out of his driveway and…” In contrast, if a character is upbeat and polite, the narration will feel similar.

And there’s no right answer on how much to let character voice color the dialogue in third person limited, because an author can choose how close to get to the character. And readers have preferences for their favorite points of view. I like a bit of everything but like close third person limited the majority of the time.

Distant third person limited has a rather consistent and detached narrator voice, despite still being limited to what the character knows. Very close third person is almost like first person, meaning the narration is basically just like that character, except all the “I/me” words are replaced with “he/she” and so forth.

As a reader, a lot of this is often invisible. As a writer though, it’s interesting to 1) pick how close you want third person limited to be for your given book, and 2) be consistent with it so you don’t unintentionally zoom in or out at certain times.

So it’s kind of a mindfuck because there are multiple layers to be aware of. A really interesting process to tackle.

🍄 With the $214 collected, we carried out humanitarian aid in two main categories.

First, at the "TRINITA SUPPORT" orphanage, we met with 30 children and their caregivers. We provided them with food supplies to help sustain both the children and the staff for a certain period. This assistance aimed to ensure they had enough to eat and ease some of their daily struggles.

After visiting the orphanage, we extended our support to a "Muslim family" home facing visible difficulties. Given their challenging situation, we also provided them with essential food supplies. These provisions were shared among all members of the household, allowing them to distribute the aid according to their needs.

To spare you the details of the specific products already visible in the photos we simply wanted to share how we utilized the donations collected throughout this week.

Every contribution made a difference, and we are grateful for your support!

♥️From those people you have helped, as well as from our side, we thank you for your shared happiness through the adoption of #Bitcoin and your good personality.

God bless each one of you and grant you grace. 🤗

🍄 Let’s continue our humanitarian mission together!

Proof of last week’s work has been provide. 🎉✌️

For the upcoming week, we’d like to go even further. Everything will depend on the contributions we receive. We’re considering several humanitarian actions or choosing just one from the following:

✅🫂 Financially assisting patients in hospitals to ease the burden of medical expenses.

✅🫂 Supporting a personal project by interviewing one or two people and helping them bring it to life.

✅🫂 Covering school fees or funding training for someone in need.

✅🫂 Implementing concrete actions to improve the daily lives of certain individuals.

✅ At the end of the week, we’ll select the mission to carry out based on the collected funds and will share proof of the work accomplish.

✨🎁 Every gesture counts. Every bit of help makes a difference. Let’s continue to sow hope and spread solidarity together.

🙏 May this new week begin well for all of us. Don’t forget to pray.

Spreading the love!

💘 We’re here because we LOVE it, improving mining is our passion, so consider this our Valentine’s Day gift to you, #Nostr 🎁

⚡⚡ REPOST THIS NOTE FOR SOME ZAP LOVE ⚡⚡

⚡ ⚡ We’re zapping for the LOVE of it until we run out of sats! ⚡ ⚡

We’re not a big team; there are only 2 “employees” (aka co-founders), one unhinged pleb running the #Nostr, and—most importantly—our devs

Here, you can hash some sats and do your part to decentralize bitcoin mining by bidding on hashrate

We work with small mining farms working sustainably to secure the network 💪
