Narrative Technique
« on: October 31, 2009, 12:55 AM »

I always use 1st person narrative whenever I write my stories because it allows me to go deep into the narrator/character's head, how they perceive things- their insecurities, their guilty pleasures, their sorrows, their fears, their relief, the list is endless.  1st person narratives give me the freedom to be raw and unexpected in my delivery, i like to shock, excite and scare not in a fright sort of way but in an 'oh my word, i can't believe he said that' -sque. So my main characters tend to be losers, pedants, idiots, low self esteem.paranoid and a bit neurotic. I like these qualities because every one of us has them albeit in different proportions.

so what do you guys prefer as your narrative style

When you use 1st person it seems more truthful. 3d person makes world more wide.
