Title: These Five Words
Post by: starbeamz on November 04, 2007, 04:19:27 PM

I feel like I should be called the Queen of Shameless Plugs, but I'm shamelessly plugging myself...Again LOL

I started this story as an exercise in first person writing and thought I'd post it. It's basically a Nick and Brian story because I love Frick and Frack ;D It's only going to be three or so chapters long, and it's got NOTHING to do with romance, which is surprising coming from me LOL Either way, if you have time, let me know how I'm doing with first person because, personally, it's the hardest thing for me to write.

Thanks for reading, Mare! I just never know if I'm writing out their thoughts exactly the way each of them would think. First person and characterizati on, I should say, are my two big problems in writing...

It's hard to write first person but I really think that's what helps people capture their characters best. LOL I know for me when I first wrote a story in first person I had to go back and fix things because I would find myself randomly going back into third person without even realizing it.

Wow, this writing in first person deal isn't so bad. Now I have all these ideas for writing in first person!

Oh, and, also, I posted chapter 3 of 4 for These Five Words.

You get 5000 bonus points if you can guess where the title comes from LOL

I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi?

'Kay. I updated the fourth and final chapter of this story! It was a fun little exercise in first person, and writing from Brian's perspective was nice. It also made me start yet another story, this time in Brian's first person POV! I really am starting to like it!

Oh, and Teri. You were right about the song. LOL I wonder how many other people got that reference...
