So it's good for you that you like third since it's is a popular style. :-) Personally, I prefer to read third person myself. I love hearing how everyone has different ways of doing things.<BR/>How's your story coming along?Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-67756815445351305712008-09-04T01:03:00.000-04:002008-09-04T01:03:00.000-04:00I find that 1st person is a somewhat limiting view...I find that 1st person is a somewhat limiting view, but sometimes its necessary for the plot. Most of the time I will stick to a close 3rd person and every once in a while jump into a deep 1st person to show the reader something that can not been seen any other way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-17589941054773569852008-09-03T12:11:00.000-04:002008-09-03T12:11:00.000-04:00Did you review the book for her?

My first chapter of one of my manuscripts introduced a hero that everyone hated. They thought he was cruel. I went back, (based on advice) put it into his deep POV, and I think it's much stronger now because people can see why he's behaving that way.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by, Laura. :-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-75385017731574355682008-09-03T00:03:00.000-04:002008-09-03T00:03:00.000-04:00I'm pretty good at making sure I don't shift from ...I'm pretty good at making sure I don't shift from one person to another within a scene. But I have a hard time writing a "close" third person POV--I've discovered that most of my writing is done in a "distant" third person, which I think makes it hard for the reader to identify with the character. Definitely something I need to work on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
