it seems so rare? do you hate reading first person present? is it harder to write? what's the deal? |

aw, faulkner i would think it would be harder to impart other information [the past, other people's pov...] |
i think, personally, it is easier for me to write autobiographical (and pseudo/quasi autobiographical) in first person present tense. i tend to stand myself up back in whatever situation i am writing about and then write as the action progresses. i am so used to it, in fact, that when i do write in other tenses i do switch. often mid paragraph. which is an issue. i don't know when i've ever given a fuck about other peoples' pov, but yeah, the past is difficult. goddamnit. writing is hard. it is so much easier to get drunk and go barf a journal entry or pervert rant somewhere. |
