Holding a consistent point of view throughout a scene or chapter so readers know whose eyes and mind they're inhabiting at any moment. Accidental POV shifts disorient readers; deliberate control makes narration feel trustworthy and clear.
Perspective locking is a prompting strategy that anchors an AI writing assistant to a single narrative point of view throughout a scene or chapter, preventing unintended head-hopping or omniscient drift.
AI models naturally pull from diverse training examples and can slip between perspectives without explicit guardrails. By embedding perspective constraints directly into your system prompt or session instructions, you maintain the immersive, consistent viewpoint that literary fiction and commercial storytelling both require.
