Anne of Lothlorien replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
I used to ONLY write third person, and I had no idea if it was omnipotent, or omnipresent, or whatever. Still don’t quite remember those. @Daeus what are those things?
But now I write mostly in first person. I like focusing on one person personally better, and it lets me put in weird thoughts that I probably wouldn’t if it was third person.
But…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson, YAY! YOU’RE HERE!!! I’ve been waiting for you to pop up on this forum. How can you possibly think that I would not like you to call me one of your best friends, you’re crazy girl. Anyway, I’m gonna brag on Joy a little bit here, when she says her hobby is art, she means it, I’ll have to post a few of her pictures against her will…[Read more]

Deep third person. I write sprawling epics with gazillions of characters, and deep third person works best for those kinds. If I was writing YA or something similar with only one MC, I’d probably choose first for a deep personal connection though.

I’m an ENFP. I haven’t done any of my characters yet, though I know @writefury has done each of her Blank Mastermind people.

@i-j-anderson Welcome! (to the bestistest place on the internet specifically)
That’s awesome you live on a small scale farm. Those are the bestistest. Btw, you don’t happen to know about permaculture, do you?
Hey, you really should post one of your poems. Do you have a favorite poetry style?

Hello! Welcome to KP, what is known as the “bestistest” place on the interwebz! 😀 I, too, am fairly new, but I feel right at home in this “community” of writers, and I hope you will too!

Louise Fowler replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
I prefer third-person, reading and writing, though I’m not strictly a third-person-reader or writer. But it depends on who or what the story is focussing on whether you writer in first- or third-person, and what kind of a mood you want to set, because the different POVs do set different moods. With first-person, it gives you the chance to explore…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
My preference? I’m not totally sure, but I think I tend toward third person, particularly omnipotent.
Now from what you’re saying, it sounds to me like you’d do best with a deep third person story. It could be confusing to use first person for multiple POVs (though who know? Might be the next thing.) If you’re used to first though, you might…[Read more]

@winter-rose I think I’m done now. I wrote about 444 words, which means I wrote about 1472 words total today. I also changed some things around and wrote a paragraph of planning. Thanks!

@nataliemarie Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets! (I’ll say it even if others have.) 😛
I’m the other dragon on here, and I breathe fire quite often. *looks pointedly at @kate-flournoy* I’ll tell you quite honestly that chairs and phones are quite fun to melt. But I’ll be nice and spare yours.
So, regardless of chairs and melting…[Read more] -

@bluejay @jess @daeus @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @hope @overcomer
Hello? Yes, I’d like to make an order to write? I’ll aim for a couple thousand words, maybe I’ll be here for an hour or so, who knows. I’m hoping others will join.
Alright, thank you, goodbye.

Oh, dear. You asked the question. You see, most practitioners don’t even know how to define it, because it’s such a broad subject, but I came up with my own definition that I think hits it at the heart, and I double checked and receive a thumbs up on the definition from the guy who’s probably the leading permaculturist in the world. My definition…[Read more]
Wow… that is actually really cool. Yes, that does make sense. 😀 What would you do with it? Did you take classes or something? Or did you go to college?
@Daeus
No, it was an e-course. I think it lasted three months. At the end, you had to submit a proposal for a property design and then if you showed understanding of the material, they passed you. I actually did the Craig’s property. …and they still haven’t even seen the design. Which is fine, since I would need to edit it first.
I could contract as…[Read more]
