| Re: Point of View
I'm trying to break new ground and introduce a fourth person, where I'm telling the story from the point of view of the person telling me the story...
Generally I'm a third person kind of person, and usually limited, but roaming from character to character. Usually it'll be from amongst the same smell group of recurring characters, but I'm not averse to throwing in one-offs if they are required. First person is not my favourite, but as Birol says, it depends on the tone I'm after. The novella I wrote for my Honours was first person present tense, purely because that seemed the only way to tell that particular story. |
