First person feels too limited to me, and if I'm not enamored with the character it can make them more irritating *coughcoughMarycoughcough*.SqueezeBoxPharmhttp://squeezeboxpharm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-40463067741355146782011-02-16T11:47:08.986-07:002011-02-16T11:47:08.986-07:00I'm not necessarily partial to either.

But, I agree there is a definite trend lately. I changed my POV because I kept switching to first when I was writing. It DEMANDED to be written in first, so I went with it. But I still like third.Brenna Braatenhttp://twitter.com/brennabraatennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-73662261652500253152011-02-16T11:27:48.515-07:002011-02-16T11:27:48.515-07:00I almost consistently write in third person limite...I almost consistently write in third person limited, but I love to read first person narrative. I like to write like an outsider looking in, but when I'm reading, I want to feel like I'm in the story. Contradictory? Yes. I just hope my readers won't mind. =)<br /><br /><a href="http://oneyeartowrite.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Quitting My Day Job</a>Fletch8502noreply@blogger.com
