2nd person sounds like a dungeon master.

All good perspectives. And you mentioned 2 of my most favorite novels. We are happy about that and we plan to keep reading your blogs! And most impressive of all is the 17k+ words. We certainly have never done that ever. 😘

I started thinking about all my favorite books and realized that all of them are 3rd person, Ender, Dune, Foundation except some seem to be 3rd person, 1st person, like Neuromancer, he uses a lot of I and we but it's about Case, and the author uses his name a lot, like Case did this or that, but then Case jumps in and the author tells the story from what he's observing. It's wild and effective. Also look at the whole twilight series, which I liked... I know, I know, sap for love stories, the author has started a whole new take on those books from Edwards perspective instead of Bella's and it works! And then there's Hitchhikers Guide... What perspective is that? I love that book. LoL

You've ruined it! Now I'm going to have to go back and read all my favorites and figure it out. I mean Do Androids dream? Hahahaha 🤣, thanks for the new project.

Haha there's a lot going on behind the scenes in a book when you think about. It's crazy to think about all the things that an author takes into account that the reader never really thinks about!

The Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty is a good novel that makes effective use of second-person!
