Adventures in the 3rd Person – Method Writing
Spill your guts. Let it all out. That’s what my first person characters usually do. They don’t hold back. They seem to think they are in therapy and the page is the confessor. Which I am all for. That’s why they are here. But in shifting to third person that might not be so good.…
