Questions to ponder part 11
RokofAges75:
Yes, yes it is! LOL
Carter:
I seem to be better at first person myself...i dont exactly know why maybe it seems more personal i guess? In third person I have noticed I have major issues but with Southern Comfort, with what i have written on it anyway, seems easier me to write and it almost flows better.
RokofAges75:
Have you guys ever written the start of a story in both POVs to see which you liked better? If so, which did you pick?
Carter:
Southern Comfort is prime example. I think I wrote almost six different prologues to it because 1) I had so many ideas and 2) i wrote one in third person and then one in first person. I chose to write it in first person. I wanted something different for this story cause I love the concept. If I find this story to be easy to write I may just stick with the first person for awhile with all of my other stories I have ideas for.
mare:
I find writing in first person a lot easier than third. I love living inside the character's heads. I also enjoy the challenge of writing action and coming up with creative ways to figurr out how to include scenes that the main character might not be privy to.
The above actually answers Julie's question as well because I have started plenty stories in first person but had to change to third because of the plot twists etc. Most of my stories are first person or have started that way.
