Lately, I've been writing more in third person, but it feels forced and unnatural, and I'll probably go back to writing in first person :) Have a great week and happy writing.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069074076672991907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-56302997368279704392010-09-20T10:10:24.919-04:002010-09-20T10:10:24.919-04:00Yay, J!!

Now I'm going to have to read it.<br /><br />I *tried* writing in second person already. I got as far as writing 2 chapters and gave up. It was HARD -- and for the story I was attempting to write, it didn't make sense anyway. <br /><br />Other than CON-fidence by Todd Strasser, which is MG, I'm not aware of any second person novels. This one has just moved up my TBR list.Dianne K.
