It took me a long, long time to get it when I first started writing.<br /><br />I like to suggest to new writers to climb inside the character and look out through his or her eyes and only show what can be seen and experienced that way.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

For example, if I'm writing about fairies, and my main character is a boy, I'm probably not going to reach the best target market, which historically is young girls.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-43363156542655200002009-08-06T11:27:02.346-06:002009-08-06T11:27:02.346-06:00Excellent example.Excellent example.Sheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-32256883033676360642009-08-06T09:05:54.321-06:002009-08-06T09:05:54.321-06:00Thanks for the reminders!

I used to think I didn't have a huge problem with this--and I usually don't--but one of my recent crits indicated I deviated slightly in a particular scene that was in first person.
