Writing

[ivybgreenflower]

9,842. Tomorrow it'll be ten thousand, which I think is the most words I've ever written for one story.
Looking back through some of my other attempts at writing, I'm finding some really neat imagery I'll have to recycle into this one.

How do you feel about stuff written in the first person?

I haven't read much in first person, especially novels. I've read plenty of short stories that were written in first person. I think there is so much going on in novels that it's just easier for the writer to write in 3rd person. Ya'know?
Oh, but, generally, I like first person.

Have you ever written a story in second person?
I read a short story during freshman year of college that was written in second person. It was superb.

Yeah, I realized after I started that it's a lot harder to describe things when the narrator is the main character.
Second person is so hard to get right, but I've tried it before and it's fun.
