It's very difficult for me to write a convincing 3rd person - I feel like I have to see and comment on every little detail. I love to read both 1st & 3rd though.<br />Just read two great 1st POV's - REFORMED VAMPIRE SUPPORT GROUP and MARCELO IN THE REAL WORLD. Both interesting 1st person voices: a 15-year-old vampire (really, she's 55) and the other, a 17-year-old with Asperger's. I also found the MC in WINTERGIRLS to be convincing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-28091102667987779442009-09-28T11:20:17.748-05:002009-09-28T11:20:17.748-05:00Hi Marsha, I'm working on doingt he opposite. ...Hi Marsha, I'm working on doingt he opposite.

I plan to go back to third, perhaps, when I'm done. ??Susan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05566009829295331580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-54772854815201312282009-09-26T08:25:06.873-05:002009-09-26T08:25:06.873-05:00I think maybe that's what drives me nuts--I lo...I think maybe that's what drives me nuts--I love reading a good first person, but for writing it's too claustrophobic for me to be confined to one person's thoughts and experiences. I get enough of that in daily life.Anne Ursuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864047397813748310noreply@blogger.com
