First person didn't fit this story. Sorry about that super long post with the puppy advice. I teach Humane Ed for a living so it's second nature to just start handing out advice, which I shouldn't do when it isn't asked for! But that recall can be a lifesaver! You never anticipate something happening, but it's good to be prepared just in case!<br /><br />Clarissa...Thanks for the "great post!" Coming from you, that's a huge compliment.<br />:-)<br /><br />C.E....that's my biggest challenge at the moment. Making sure I stay in limited. The first chapter mixed both. I think that happened early on because I was feeling out the story. Had to rewrite that one extensively!<br /><br />Melissa...I love that Rory will NOT be written in 3rd. It's HER story and she wants to be sure everyone knows it, especially YOU, her scribe.Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-570296488942290182010-09-09T10:01:42.460-07:002010-09-09T10:01:42.460-07:00I WISH I could put my story into third.

I could get a more non-judgmental opinion of my other characters - whom I love. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the story is Rory's. She's the main character and she will NOT be written in 3rd. And trust me I tried.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096764010151024050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-37584652482521682022010-09-09T08:53:38.825-07:002010-09-09T08:53:38.825-07:00I like first person most but only because I have a...I like first person most but only because I have a tendency to try and mix both varieties of third and get called on it. Apparently if you start off limited you can't all of a sudden be omniscient. <br /><br />Great post!

So, I did.

I guess I need to study my brother some more and remember what he was like at 21.<br /><br />I also like third person limited, for some reason it gives me the first person elements I like, but with the freedoms of a first person.<br /><br />Oh! And thank you for the puppy advice! Normally she never slips her collar, it might have been because it was a little big to begin with, but I'll definitely try those tricks with her and get my mom to help since I'm away.Paigeewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147262096880585294noreply@blogger.com
