Also, I’m so sorry about your dad.

@erynne thanks for your advice! Also, mostly the reason I think it could be cliché is because is it natural for a person to be depressed like that for multiple years after the death?

Hi everyone!
I have this story idea, and basically a large part of the story is built off of the whole devastated-single-father sort of trope. He and his wife were super in love and they had a little boy and everything, but then she died in a fire. One of the main drivers of the story is his disillusionment afterwards and the way he starts b…[Read more]

@k-a-gray I started reading your stuff an I was like YES ME TOO. It reminded of some other stuff about me/my type that I hadn’t thought of. So yeah, I also just mutter little one-liners under my breath, but so quietly no one hears them which is kind of sad but I don’t really have the courage to say them out loud or something. And I’m also rea…[Read more]

Grace Benham replied to the topic Dual Points of View in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@rose-colored-fancy and @daeus-lamb thanks for the help! I wanted third person for one because he’s less of a personal character so it almost feels invasive to do first-person if that makes any sense.
If you decide to go forward with it, I would write a couple chapters from both povs, then get feedback on it before you write the whole book th…

Hey, so I had this story idea that I want to write with two different points of view alternating. Is it weird or confusing to go from first person for one character to third person for the other character? I don’t know if there’s a way for that to work out, or if I should just avoid that altogether. Any advice would be great 🙂
