I'm about to undertake a rewrite of one of the novels I was working on last year. I really enjoyed the story, but I felt like it was missing something.
It is the story of a villain, but she didn't start out that way. It's not meant to be redemptive, but it is meant to show her side of the story. I initially wrote it in third person. I've decided that I'm going to write it in first. However, I really want to have fun with her, more so than I did before. I intend to write it in a Deadpool like snark/meta way. She will be very self aware that she's in a story.
I know many will say write it and see, which is exactly what I'll be doing starting tomorrow. I was just curious what people though about that sort of narration.
