Adventures in the 3rd Person – Shifting Perspective
Oh, the places we will go. That was my big epiphany this morning in pondering the 3rd person narrative style vs. the 1st person narrative style. The ability to go places a first person narrator could not go, or at least could not go without a great deal of machination. I suspect my fascination on…

Adventures in the 3rd Person – The Plot Thickens
The plot thickens or at least expands for the new 3rd person adventure. It even has a working title, if only for the sole purpose of making it easier to reference. “The Shoe Ghost” seems like a good name as any for a story about memory. In fact since I am a terrible typist and…

Adventures in the 3rd Person – Watercolors and Oils
I suppose it seems odd to go on about writing in the 3rd person as some sort of apocalyptic undertaking, but if I didn’t make it so melodramatic it would be ungodly boring, or even more ungodly boring. So I was thinking it was maybe easier to explain in a more concrete art form example.…

Letting Go, or My Flight from Societal Cannibalism
I was parking at the local coffee shop this morning and was faced again for the millionth time with my spatial dyslexia, the not quite utter inability of my brain to understand my place in space. I’m certainly not the only one who lives the struggles of left/right, up/down, near/far, east/west. The constant challenge with…
