Hello friends! I’ve got to say, all these new books I’ve picked up have motivated me to continue writing my own. I dropped the idea for a thought that I’d recreate it through a game system instead, but the company was incredibly unprofessional and had no support for their creators, so I quickly ditched that idea so that I didn’t continue to confuse my storyline in my own head. That being said!
I’m curious, as I’ll release any written works through the higher Patreon tiers before I share them anywhere else, what is your preferred reading style? I’ve taken notice that a lot of fiction stories I’m reading are somewhat between first and third perspectives, sometimes dredging up a scene or two where it almost feels like both at once.
I enjoy writing in both first and third, but I wanted to know what you all prefer the most while I plan out what stories I want to put to draft!
For a bit more example and clarity, written in first perspective, I would be focusing more on describing what the character feels. With third perspective, I would go more into detail about what is around them and somewhat less focus on what they specifically see.
