First Person vs. Third Person

Thu, May 1, 2008

Point of View

I simply can NOT figure out whether I want to write my current story in FIRST person or in THIRD! I don’t like first person. I don’t write ‘deep’ enough for first person.

But the guy has two voices in his head besides his own… so third is almost impossible if I want it to make any sense! It’s tricky enough to begin with.

Right now I have the main MC telling his story in first person. I also have 2 other POV characters who get the 3rd person treatment – it works better for them. Since the idea is basically that the main MC (yes, I know that is redundant!) is telling the story from his death-bed, so to speak, it makes sense.

But it is still annoying!
