Comments on: 1st vs. 3rd Person https://www.robohara.com/?p=37 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Sun, 15 May 2016 16:33:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: AArdvark https://www.robohara.com/?p=37#comment-6203 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 01:01:29 +0000 http://write.robohara.com/?p=37#comment-6203 I always find 3rd person easier because I can throw in background details that the character wouldn’t be aware of in 1st person. Plus 1st person gets too personal sometimes.

While searching Google, I kept finding the same statistic over and over that said more books written in 3rd Person are sold than those written in 1st Person — then again, we all know that statistics can lie (for example, maybe more books are written in 3rd Person as well). If I had more time for the project I would consider 1st Person, but I quickly found it was taking me twice as long to write things that sounded professional in first person. Maybe I’ll try it on novel #2. ;)

Many great books have been written in the first person: Moby Dick and A Tramp Abroad come to mind. But of course, Herman Melville and Mark Twain were masters of their craft.

By the way, this website looks great on mobile.
