Writing In The First Person Point Of View...
As most of you know by now, I've started work on my third novel. What makes this book different though is the fact that I'm writing in the first person instead of the third person. In the third person one tends to do a lot of "he said," "She smiled", etc. Whereas the first person is a bit more personal in my opinion. Just about all writers like to let the audience inside their characters heads. Some will do it in the "omniscient" style, where they let reader see inside every characters head in the same scene all at once. We're allowed to know what they're thinking, even if they don't share their thoughts with the other characters. Or the author will let you inside one character's head at a time. This is called 'limited perspective' which is what I use a lot, where I only let you inside one character's mind at a time, even within the same scene. But I'll indicate the 'change' of who's head...
