1st Person or 3rd Person? Which POV do you prefer?
Fishwings commented on Fishwings's blog entry in Fishwings' Blog
Conclusion: FIRST PERSON LIMITED :3 Excellent insight although with a small sample size. -
1st Person or 3rd Person? Which POV do you prefer?
Fishwings commented on Fishwings's blog entry in Fishwings' Blog
Yes. I agree 1st person is definitely the hardest to master. There are tons of elements to consider and perfect when you're telling a story so personally -- readers will be very quick to judge whether they like the protagonist or not. If they don't they're not going to like the story. Omniscient for me only works in small doses or in olden day literature. The drifting annoys me too! Character development becomes spread out too thin and I feel like I'm constantly being shunted unceremoniously from one head to the other. -

Fishwings commented on Fishwings's blog entry in Fishwings' Blog
LOL. Actually a lot of the advantages/disadvantages of first person shooters/third person shooters apply to stories. I like dead space and that's third person and I suck at FPS. Yeah I actually don't read a lot (if any) first person alternating. I mean I also have read alternating first person and third person (in Pendragon series) but honestly looking back, I always got annoyed at the viewpoint change. Didn't work. And yes, exactly. In first person it's much harder to slip into omniscient. And yeah. I've read too many stories where the main character is blabbing on and on about their feelings, I'm just like "shut the fuck up! No one cares." LOL. Much harder to abuse when third person. -

That is very interesting. Probably 'cause we might read very different genres then -- I shall definitely check the said authors out! (I cannot wait to get mah kindle :3) -
Thank you so much for stopping by ComeWhatMay. I wrote all three poems at different stages of my life so that might be one of the reasons why they are standalone different poems, but they all have an overarching theme of darkness that I have always tried to extend. Thanks again for stopping by.

Thank you Michael for stopping by. Yes I did write three poems hehe :3 I tried to capture the uncertainty yet the pureness of love in "conversations." After all, I was pretty infatuated with my love back then! Thanks again. -
Thank you for your support comicfan. I am glad that you thought I did them justice.
-
Thank you W_L.
-
Thank you very much RJ.
-
That is a very interesting interpretation. It definitely fits what I was trying to aim for in this poem. I was pretty inspired by some environmental focused animal films so that might have something to do with it. Thank you for stopping by.
-
Thank you W_L. I wanted to make this poem vividly visual as a means to transport the underlying meanings.
-
Yes, I agree. There are so many people, animals, plants, and things that have been forgotten as the years have past in order to make space for the new generations of our Earth. Thanks for stopping by, Rob.

Thank you Layla. I am glad you liked the last poem too -- it was one of my first (successful) ventures into poetry.
-
Thank you Patrick -- that was close to what I was aiming for -- unspoken love, thousands of unspoken things in the air. Thank you for stopping by.
-
Yes, sometimes language can be communicated without a sound.
-
Thank YOU for all the support Jo Ann. It means a lot to me.
-
Thank you W_L pup. Thanks for stopping by.

Running... running harder... running faster!! Thank you for stopping by Rob.

Thank you Wayne -- I love your summarization of the poem, and I am glad you liked it.
-
Aww, thank you RJ. That means a lot coming from someone as talented as YOU!
-
I am glad you think that I have that ability (but I can't say I agree with you -- poetry is a definite challenge for me at most times).
-
Thank you RJ. Back when I wrote it I was inspired by an environmental fantasy movie and I wanted to write something related to it. It's also a good breather from all the romance I usually write about.
-
Thank you Jo Ann, I am glad you think so.

This one is my favourite out of the three. I love the painful progression from crawling from brokeness to falling into delirium. Beautiful!
