I have two books that I literally bought a year ago and still haven't read. I'm starting to think I need to have my own personal OUReadathon. If I'd known the real one would last three days I would have participated.

my wip is in first person, and I love it. Probably because all my life I've written in third person. I love the challenge of only being able to reveal so much

I rarely write in first person. >.>; Whenever I do write in first-person, I get stuck because I do nothing but ramble haha. Third-person makes it easier for me to move forward with my plot.

I used to be that way, all rants on why my MC hates mall type people and stuff lol. But now, as I've built a real world, supporting characters, and developed real themes around my pov, it's easier to stay focused. Whereas, before, I would start writing just like that, get 3 pages into a rant and have nothing else to go to.

in my series I've only ever written in first person. I'm sooooo much more comfortable with first person. But the first time around writing UZ i tried third person for the first time, it wasnt bad, i just feel like it would be so much more heartfelt if all the experiences came from a first person voice, although i really dont know what sounds better now that i'm reading them side by side.

I also wind up neglecting my other characters in first person.
I wind up with a very developed narrator, and very underdeveloped other characters. Oh first person, y u no be easy to write good! D:<

Hi!
So my roomate (who I haven't met yet) says she doesn't like Harry Potter that much. WHAT?! HOW CAN I LIVE WITH HER. Kidding. Also, very terrible day today. I'm staying in my aunt's house and now I really really wish I could just go home. I am now hiding from the people in this house. *tries not to make any noise* I feel like I'm in the twilight zone or something. *finds solace with twifties*

Keag, I understand, I can remember in my first couple attempts my second greatest developed character, only had about 4 lines to her name.

I'm holding off the fire because she said she loves Doctor Who and LoR and Dune and Fringe. So I am mostly mollified but still slightly horrified. *brings fire to college just in case*
ETA: also your worldbuidling is awesome. *hides in bedroom* Quote:

I'm ambivalent toward HP. I just like lighting things on fire.
You know what? Tommy will always be my favorite power ranger. He was the Green Ranger. Then he was the White Ranger. ...then he was the Red Ranger. Then he went away. Then, in the Dino-Power series, he came back. And his first action? HE KICKS A T-REX IN THE FACE. He's in his normal, every day (non-super powered) form and he turns around and there's just a MOTHERFUCKING T-REX. And does Tommy blink? NO! He jumps up. And he spin kicks it. IN THE FUCKING FACE. Cause Tommy is HARDCORE.

Did Billy ever roundhouse kick a T-Rex?
No! ...he did rebuild the mega-zoids a few times, though. And he created a deaging machine once. Okay, Billy was pretty cool too. Another favorite of mine? BULK AND SKULL!

I am capable of liking people who don't like HP. (I think.)
MLP + DW is awesome. Game of Thrones, Y U NO LOAD FASTER? I've been trying to watch this episode for two hours and I've only got to the 20 minute mark. Sighsighsigh.
