[apocalypsos]

Aaaaaaand I'm back to debating whether or not this novel should be first-person present switching between different characters or third-person past. This is what I get for reading the damn thing and liking it the way it is.

I want someone to read it who's not in my writer's group. (Sorry, Misfits, you guys are waaaaay too thorough when it comes to editing. That's not a bad thing, just ... I just want people who haven't read DMIDS and aren't going to send me back a highly detailed beta to read this first. Then you guys. 'Kay?)

Anybody want to volunteer to peek at a couple of chapters of this story? If you've read "Ghost in the Shell", then you know what it looks like when I write first-person present tense. This one's original and each chapter's from the point of view of a different character, though, so there, you're forewarned. (I'm just worried it'll be confusing, is all. It's not confusing me, but I'm writing the damn thing.)

I don't plan on posting on LJ for obvious reasons but anyone who wants a peek, I'll email it to you.

You can send it to danmacqueen (at) yahoo.ca, but it might take a while for me to read it...

Sure, I'll be more than happy to take a look - especially if you would be so kind as to take a look at youhavethewrite and let me know what you think of some of my pieces there.

Okay fine, I will keep my evil red pen for another day...

But I do want to see it eventually. First person present tense--that's a tough POV (to me anyway). Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't--depends (of course) on the writing... Are you saying multiple first person-present tense (whew)? All right, I am working (occasionally) on a multiple first person past-tense, and even with that I struggle with whether I "should" or not. But if you like it, and it makes you say "hey" then go for leaving it like it is.

*tosses pen on desk*

So okay TP, holler when ready.
