So I've had this character in my head for a long time now, and I've always thought of her story from first-person narrative. Naturally, when I begin to write about her, I and we and all the other first-person pronouns come out. But lately when I'm taking random notes or writing a part of her story, third-person has begun to come out. I'm very confused and not sure where I want to take it.
I like the idea that we can hear her thoughts and feelings and opinions. This is all about her and her discoveries and her history. The story is meaningless without her; the story is her. She would be first-person major :-) Meaning she is the main character.
Perhaps I could switch between first and third, if there are scenes I want the reader to know about, but she does not yet or never will...
Hmmm....it's just frustrating because I feel like I should make the decision before I write more, but I feel like I won't know for sure until I write more. I believe that's a catch-22 :-)
I guess I'll just keep writing as it comes and it may be something I have to piece together in the editing process.
