First or Third Person?

[Vara]

Okay so this is more of a question rather than a tip. When you write stories, do you write in first person or third person?

Personally, I write in third. I used to write in first sometimes, but I kept confusing pronouns with names. I like writing in third because it lets you have a somewhat detached point of view. That way, if you want to write about an event or sequence that doesn't involve your protagonist, or is supposed to be kept secret from your protagonist, you still can so the readers know what's going on. But that's just me. I wanted to try out a story idea I have using first person, but I should probably plan it out first

I prefer to write in first person. I don't know why but it makes me feel like I'm really inside the story I'm writing. It makes me feel that I'm the main character who experiences lots of thing inside the story. Anyway, I don't feel the difficulty in pronouns. But you know, sometimes I write in third person too. It actually depends on my mood. There are moods when I want to write in first person and also mood when I write in third person.

By the way, nothing wrong with first or third person. It depends on which your feeling chooses.
