Re: advice wanted: writing in a child's POV in an adult n...
by Joy
Just my two cents on the subject, not that I know everything.

*Bullet* First know your heroine:
Your heroine is six years old and is an empath, you say. Great combination, which can give you many ways to handle even the simplest scenes.
*Bullet* Don't underestimate a kid, her vocabulary, or understanding. They understand and grasp much more than what the adults think they did or didn't.
*Bullet* Children can be unbelievably honest or deceptive and this behavior can alternate a lot.
*Bullet* They can create a drama from something minute or they can overlook a much larger crisis.
*Bullet* If you write exactly from the child's point of view, don't overly minimize your use of vocabulary, especially this child you mention has to be like a teen even if she is six.
Best of luck with the story! *Smile*
