i need some help becaus i have a special caracter. it is a therid person. however this narrator refers to himself from time to time. he is a god. in fact.

[DKC1011]

Third Person seems to be the simplest of all tactics in narrative story telling. First Person seems to be difficul because unless I have spent a few months conversing with the character in my head I would find it impossible to put myself in their shoes. And finally, second person is just... wacky. I mean, I have only read a second person perspective in a novel-game. like you choose your weapons and such :P. So yeah. thanks a million for your help santa :D

Hi guys, I want to share my experience writing my first novel. Till now it's been five years writing and I'm just half work done, this process is needed cause in my story main character's thoughts show up often so I want to show how his mentality matures with time ( because I narrate his life completely, since he is born to his death). I let all that running cause I'm basing on my own mentality maturing (I can't do it with other's) so I let it to grow to use it in the story.

This is the sort of man who belongs on expertvillage. Very good video. Very good knowledge.

[trmptdreams]

This was a great video, I never thouht of having a dishonest narator, and of using that approach to throw people off! Now I'm itching to try it!

[LmanAkaSilentHunter]

A crazy idea came to my head the other day when i started writing a novel i'll be working on for some time, hopefully i'll get it published on day. Anyways, i was thinking of having different characters narrating the story. maybe a different character can narrate different chapters. is that a good idea or will it cause too much trouble?

[figocooldude]

@LmanAkaSilentHunter I think it's been done before, very postmodern. It shouldn't be a problem, they do it even in the movies, look at Pulp Fiction or Amores Perros.

[88blackandwhite88]

@LmanAkaSilentHunter I think it is a very good idea so long as you can keep track of your own story. It's been done before but rarely. I think it is a very creative way to tell a story. I say go for it :)
