Direct and specific:
* Metafictional narrators: This is a broad term that encompasses any narrator who breaks the fourth wall and acknowledges the story as a constructed work. This often includes discussions about the creative process.
* Self-aware narrators: Similar to metafictional narrators, these narrators recognize their own role in the story and may comment on the writing process, their own biases, or the challenges of storytelling.
* Authorial narrators: When a narrator explicitly identifies as the author of the story, they might discuss their creative decisions, motivations, or even doubts.
More indirect and descriptive:
* Unreliable narrators: These narrators are often subjective and biased, offering their own interpretations of events and the creative process. This can lead to an interesting exploration of the author's own mind and how their choices influence the story.
* Stream-of-consciousness narrators: These narrators present a raw and unfiltered flow of thoughts, often including fragmented ideas, memories, and creative inspirations, offering glimpses into the process of composing the story.
Ultimately, the best way to describe these narrators depends on the specific context and the narrator's role in the story. You can also use more specific language to describe the type of creative process they discuss, such as "a narrator who reflects on their inspiration" or "a narrator who explores the challenges of crafting a believable character."
