Maintaining a stable perspective throughout scenes you're developing with AI assistance—explicitly stating whose awareness shapes each moment so the AI doesn't inadvertently slip into omniscience or another character's private thoughts.
Point of view locking is a prompting discipline that prevents AI from drifting between narrative perspectives mid-scene, which is a common failure mode when generating fiction across multiple sessions or long passages. It involves explicit prompt constraints that bind the AI to a single consciousness, limiting what can be observed, felt, or known within a given scene.
Maintaining strict point of view is one of the most technically demanding aspects of prose craft, and AI tools frequently violate it without correction. Writers who learn to lock perspective in their prompts produce cleaner drafts that require less revision and feel more psychologically grounded to readers.
