So without Heroes to make me turn on the TV last night, it didn't even occur to me to watch The Black Donnellys, so I guess I know where I stand on that. I just wish I'd remembered about The Riches, because that did look fun, and it sounds from people on my flist like it was worth watching. Ah, well, the last thing I need is another show. Even if

Well, it's all narratively second person, it's just that in my head, that's how it felt when I was writing it, that he was telling me the story that way, which um, I can't get to my site here at work, so I don't have the link handy, but you can get to it from here - that's Logan as in Wolverine, not Logan Echolls (or Huntzberger), just so you know.

Most of my writing is very internally focused, and I still have to remind myself to ground things in the physical, so characters who need gestures to express themselves because they're not forthcoming with thoughts or emotions are much harder for me.
Of course, this is probably why my stories are so short -- there just isn't a lot of internal narrative. Everything has to be expressed by blocking.
yeah, I suck at that. *g*
I'm wary of first person, but in principle I don't object -- it's just that it's one of those things that is so frequently done badly in fanfic.
Yeah, in original fiction, because I don't already know what the character is supposed to sound like (unless it's a series), the first person doesn't bother me as much.
I really need to learn how to write in 3rd omniscient. Every now and then I ( ... )
