Resolving the POV Dilemma
First, I want to point out that my blog might look a little different. For the past few days, I’ve been tweaking things here and there. I had some clutter and some out of date widgets and things. I felt like freshening things up a bit. And, with the awesome and talented help of one of my coworkers, I also have a new header! Thanks Jason! Same idea as my old header but with new colors and a sleeker design. I still have a few things to tweak here and there, but this is it! My new blog design. It isn’t that I don’t like my old header anymore…I still do. I just felt like a change.
We have a winner in the great POV showdown of August 2008. Third person wins this round. Its prize is being used in my current WIP, Clash.
I’ve always enjoyed reading first person. But when it comes right down to it, I think my writing sounds better, or reads better, written in third person POV. Basically, all I did was go back and switch out the first POV pronouns with third person. A slightly annoying process, but it was worth it. When I read back over both, several times each, I really thought third person came out better.
Now that I have that issue resolved, I can finally move forward with this story. I’d love to finish the first draft by the end of this year so I better get going. I might have been able to write a novel in six weeks one time, but I don’t see that becoming a pattern. Onward I go!
