    Never go first person, IMO. 3rd person limited is my favorite. Look at your favorite novels. What do they use? What feels right to you? Do what works.https://twitter.com/WatcherontheWeb/status/1459953100584857605 …

    2 I am having MASSIVE problems choosing a writing perspective. IK everybody says "just go 1st person" but there are some very compelling reasons to do 3rd person semi omnicient. How do you go about deciding?

        There's a time & place for each, but you need a really good reason to go first. Much better to default to third person most of the time.

        Some of my favourite books are first person. That said, they aren't necessarily*good* books. Entertainment value =/= craft.

        Just yesterday, I did a breakdown for myself of how many PoV characters you have in Aristillus 1 (30!), how many chapters each character has (Fig 1) and when their first chapter is (Fig 2).pic.twitter.com/af21prevjE

        I had anticipated the ~exponential decay on Fig 1. I was a surprised at the linear-ish shape of Fig 2. Many of the 1-PoV-scene characters surprised me in retrospect. (Jim gets PoV in Ch.1, not Linda?)

        Hmmm, just realized first person only seems to work well in Urban Fantasy. That's just speaking from the limits of my reading range but still.

        It's because most of it is taking after detective novels. Works good for mysteries, which lots of them (not just Dresden) are.
