So watch out for any breaches of point of view. A POV breach can also take away from the believability of the story as a whole, and undermine the character voices you have worked so hard to create.For example, even though the narrator may know that Paul hit John from behind, John won't know Paul hit him, unless he discovers this information from outside sources or by process of elimination. A POV breach occurs when a character knows something that he or she couldn't possibly know from his or her point of view.Not doing this can lead to a point of view breach. Stay in the POV of 1 character until you transition to another character. Regardless of which POV you use, you want to always ensure the reader can relate to the characters and is never lost or confused.If your story is more plot driven and wide in scope, the third person omniscient POV may work better for you, as it allows you to move through scenes with multiple characters, as well as through time and space fairly easily, when done right.
If you are writing a more character driven story, the third person omniscient POV may not be ideal, as it does not allow you to embody 1 character's perspective in detail, including their thoughts and emotions.Readers may feel like they are learning about characters rather than being immersed in their stories. This may not allow your reader to connect as deeply with the characters and can lead to a dull or stiff narrative. Because you are viewing your characters from above, you are also presenting them to your readers at a distance and this can lead to more telling than showing in the story.
Unfortunately, being god like has its downsides.
Be aware of the cons of the third person omniscient.
