How to write from an animal’s point of view

In order to open the national poetry month, I will share my poetry 'Dragon and dragonfly' poetry.

The idea of ​​this poem comes from the hint of writing from the animal's point of view. I just read an article about my favorite writer Neil Gaiman, who helped Tasmania cave spider documentary filming in Tasmania.

I have done a few reading on spider habitats, customs etc and I listed what I was interested in. Then I imagined the spider talking to me. What advice do you have? Is it a fun spider, or a serious spider? When I think about who my spider is, I begin to hear it speak to me (Do not worry that this is the writer's thing ... I do not really hear the sound I did ... well, I usually do not)

It turned out that my spider has been living for a long time and that there are several good proposals to hand to us.

Please write poetry and short stories from animal point of view. Please select animals and write down your thoughts and questions. You never know what you might learn

Each story has an animal as the hero and this character is built around it. The obvious way to write this story is to give the animal a point of view. A simpler and more effective way is to write a transcendental omniscient third party. I know this reduces the impact of the story. The problem is not to think animals from a human point of view. A dog reacts to a certain number of well-known words and phrases such as its name and various commands. They are sensitive to intonation and body language. However, since their way of thinking is not a human way of thinking, I think the cat's heart is not familiar. We often explain the behavior of our home pets through human perceptual filtering, but we can not truly understand the internal state of cats and dogs.

A: I think that it is important to focus on the stories you want to tell first. It is not necessarily the fact that I want to write it from an animal's point of view. In other words, do you want to write adventurous stories? Or is it the illusion that animals can speak whether they have special abilities? Remember that animals can tell their own stories, as squirrels do (in her own words), or narrator can tell the animal's story, so if you are the first person or third person Please think whether to write. . This should help you find where to start from!

MS: The exciting aspect of this part of the book is to write from the animal's point of view, preserving the feeling that animals are probably the creatures we encountered. So, I tried not to anthropomorphize these animals, but I tried to write the wolf's and wolves life with a certain degree of accuracy, but even though this wolf is probably at least probably we recognize the role I will. A lot of people are trying to find the distance of the correct story of this part and to use the wolf as a physical existence rather than an emotional existence. Given the character, in this case, the wolf is perfectly inspired by instinct and the body.
