I didn't think anything of it until I found myself doing it also. I would imagine that I was eating a nice meal and go through the motions to ease my hunger.<br /><br />You never know what it is really like for people until you walk a mile in their shoes.<br /><br />Thank you for a nice blog post. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-56398758552846434542013-10-25T08:38:25.747-07:002013-10-25T08:38:25.747-07:00I've known about first and third person POV, b...I've known about first and third person POV, but your pros and cons are new to me, thanks! :)<br /><br />I don't see the appeal of third person limited POV.

For a while I didn't like first person because I thought it had only been done recently (like in the Hunger Games), but no, Charles Dickens plays about with first person in Bleak House (a different character point of view every now and then).<br />I didn't like first person because it was too limited for my what I'm used to writing, and plus it can get hard to get rid of all the "I"s when it gets to be too much(it's like trying to run away from yourself. You can't). But I'm beginning to find the interesting things one can do with first person. The Book Thief is in the first person from the POV of Death (he's like David Tennant and he tells us he doesn't have a skull for a face but looks like us) but the main character of the book is Liesel. So it's almost like third person but with a really cool twist to it. That book's really well written.<br />Emilyn J Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892659942186331664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-87998350158272002222013-10-21T19:55:09.240-07:002013-10-21T19:55:09.240-07:00Totally understand that, Galadriel.

I'm thinking I might have to play around with it a bit more. :)<br />Star-Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298850366884374226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-58991822266933451102013-10-21T16:31:26.517-07:002013-10-21T16:31:26.517-07:00I've written in both povs, but I tend to lean ...I've written in both povs, but I tend to lean towards 3rd for fanfics, with a few exceptions--because it's so hard to feel you've gotten someone else's character correct.Galadrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121966867701210958noreply@blogger.com
