Maybe it's because I've read too many books that don't successfully use the first person that makes me hesitant to read or write it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527989806224086214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527248326652000073.post-57355080925799932702014-01-30T13:55:51.940-08:002014-01-30T13:55:51.940-08:00Don't you feel that, with the exponential spre...Don't you feel that, with the exponential spread of social media sites, there are now a LOT of people who only write in the 1st person, and, perhaps, it is this overload of 1st person opinions that impacts negatively on a book written in the 1st person? To write well in the 1st person, one must have something to say, something that can transcend the 'I' factor.

My 1st person was because I wanted a focus on the main character and things that went on In her head. The 3rd person that I started was because there was more than one character that I felt needed to be seen. That is some of my reasoning for those particular works.

Most importantly, it needs to well-controlled: decide whether it's a close or distant first, and keep it consistent.Sandra Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191775335774130719noreply@blogger.com
