Stay to the Lights

I've recently read a second POV book. It is surely different and not everyone would be able to get a grasp on it.
Narrative is one of the things we have been learning more about in my course.

I remember reading one of those two recently.
I don't exactly remember what book it was though
I just remember being a little confused at first.

Stay to the Lights

The one I read seemed more surrounding around a crime, and so the 2nd pov was talking to the killer.

Drunk On You

I think I would really be confused.

Stay to the Lights

Yeah. It's a rare pov that doesn't get used often probably for that alone.

Do you prefer writing in first person? no
Do you prefer writing in second person? never read or saw a book written like that
Do you prefer writing in third person? yes
Do you prefer writing in third person limited? not sure
Do you prefer writing in alternating person? I think it might work well for some books.
Do you have a narrative voice? I used to write in first person but after some years I felt uncomfortable with it.

Drunk On You

I can't even remember what second person is.

Stay to the Lights

Its using the term YOU. As if the author is speaking to the audience. Or someone talking to someone else. I read a story in this narrative where the character was speaking to a serial killer.

Drunk On You

That's right.

Never seen a book written in second. I think it would be weird.

I have heard of third-first person POV. At least I think that's what it's called.

I don't think I've ever seen a book written in second person. I have no idea whether I would like it or not.

Drunk On You

Me either.

I feel like I need to find one!

Third person limited tends to be my favorite type of narration

Drunk On You

Mine too. I don't mind first person.

pink velvet

I don't mind first person I've definitely read plenty of those!

1st and 3rd are my fav two. In that order. I feel 1st is more personal and intimate.
