I’m from “Down Under” so not surpising we use different names for things.

So much of what I’m reading now is written in a rich, intimate first person (The Hate U Give; Sweetgirl). Deep third is cooler, less frothy, though potentially just as affecting (Six of Crows). Is voice the deciding factor in how the story is told?

Yes! Becoming the characters is key. I discovered that quite by accident the first time I wrote in first person. It was only a scene about a childhood birthday party, but the writing bled out of my heart on to the paper. Living the experience made describing the emotions much easier. And it was what led to being published.

The only drawback for me is that I have very little direct control over what the characters do. If I don’t like the way the story’s going, I need to go back and change the character or tweak the initial situation. Otherwise they’ll never cooperate. And forcing them ruins the effect.

Thanks!

Love reading that I’m finally doing something right with my ficiton! 😉
