Writing narrative. Up until I started doing exercises from the "Writing Fiction - Step By Step" book, I've only written in 3rd person. Part of the reason for that is because I have been heavily influenced by Ted Dekker. Most of the books that I've read by him are in 3rd person. One of the nice things about 3rd person narrative is it allows a broad perspective to be presented.
One thing I did notice when writing one of the exercises in 1st person is that it was actually pretty easy to write. I thought that it would be difficult, but it actually wasn't. I'm cautious about writing in 1st person because I think for what I'm trying to convey in the three stories, 1st person may limit the story. I could be wrong. It's possible that I may think that now simply because I don't have much experience with writing in first person.
Are there any preferences in your book readings? Do people really care what narrative it's written in? Is one better than the other or is it personal opinion again?
