In literature, we talk a lot about POV - Point of View. If we want to write believable characters, writers have to try and put ourselves in the character’s head: to see what they see, to think what they think.

Where are their blind spots - the physical and the metaphorical ones? Are they different to your own (hint: they probably are)? Why do you think that is?
