...because you suddenly realise that writing in first person was a better choice, and after changing it all to third person and going with that for a while, you want to go back to first person and now have to change it all--again.

i want to curl up and kick myself at the same time.

this is my 6th revision due to changing the point of view.
i hate writing. i hate it so much i love it.

someone join me in my despair?

64 pages of hell in third person and wanting to change it all to first.

*grabs a shotgun off the shelf*

Let's do it together.

someone understands. the gods must hate us.

can we drown in chocolate and good old horror movies before we do it?
because i need to experience some sort of happy emotion first.

is it bad that i feel good about the fact that i don't have that many pages?
it's like: 'yay, someone is in more despair than i am! let's celebrate.'

OTL

why are you opting for first person?
it really sucks because now most of the scenes have to be taken out.

That's why I make backups before proceeding with major changes. Might be time to start. wink

But yeah, I've done that a few times. Fortunately, none recently. You have my sympathies.

Sure I'll join you. I wouldn't mind giving you a good kick- that way you don't have to do it yourself ^_-

I agree with LiaThistle, start making back ups so you can do whatever you want to one, and still have the other.

Sounds horrible. I have run into that a few times. I normally run the lines through my head in first and thrid person and see which sounds better. Try it. Works for me anyway.

Sorry I didn't see this I've been busy. gonk First person seems better for me, the detail and feeling just seems deeper to me.

I don't believe I've ever run into this problem. Mainly because it's the weirdest thing to me to write in first person .___.
