First Person vs. Third Person
RokofAges75:
That's true with the tangents. I started another story over the summer in first person that I will hopefully go back to when I'm done with some of these other stories, and it was like that. The first chapter is technically only one scene, but it's like ten pages long, so it doesn't fit with what I just said about Curtain Call at all LOL. I guess it just depends on the characters, too.
Sevily:
I too find that I'm much less wordy in the first person because I worry about trying to make the character sound realistic. But have my write in the third person and I can describe everything in ornate detail haha
And luna610 - thanks for the feedback! I was really worried about the scene turning into a pile of crap haha
Rose:
I'm less wordy in first person too. Because I'm trying not to go too far with description, cause really, people aren't that descriptive lol. But sometimes I do send Nick on tangents too when I write him, I just see him as being that random lol.
mare:
I think it works with Nick because I think he's kind of babbly lol
Rose:
I think so too lol. I can just let him ramble for a bit before refocusing.
