Thank so much for reading my post. ...Hello Malvina. Thank so much for reading my post. Yes it is hard work sometimes - particularly as the reader has to engage with the protagonist in some way. But when it 'works' it can be wonderful - you feel like you are really with the character and her quest for a happy ending (even if she doesn't see it until the end!)

When I re read my post I realised I should have been more explicit - I might only have been writing creatively for a few years, but the characters have been in my head for many more! I think its something all writers go though, isn't it? Many thanks for reading the post!

I also love first person books - you might have to work harder to show the other characters, but it’s always interesting. And really , how we all see the world.

The last book I read in this style was Sasha Walsey's 'Dear Banjo', and I also enjoyed Jodi Perry's '19 Letters'. In 'The Farmer's Perfect Match' I used transcripts from a reality tv program to get across some idea of personalities which, from reader feedback, worked well. :)<br />Marilyn Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264683453138649702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-73784884871093170642018-03-19T15:30:38.216+11:002018-03-19T15:30:38.216+11:00Congratulations on achieving your dream of being a...Congratulations on achieving your dream of being a published writer, Penelope, and being able to reveal your 'voice' to readers.
