Wendy, That’s the weird thing. I don’t think my first person use in my blog is ANYTHING like my first person POV in my fiction. (And that’s a good thing. LOL!)

Re. what PBW said about weblogs and FP. I definitely think that writing my weblog is what gave me the tools to write fiction in first person. I’m more or less using the same voice, or a very similar one, in the book, that I use in the blog. Don’t think I would ever have attempted FP if I hadn’t been a blogger!

PBW, Wow! You don’t see many 1st person historicals outside of straight historical writing. Way to go! I’m glad you succeeded despite the ‘good’ advice.

PBW, I’ve allowed more people than I care to recall influence what I write. It’s really easy to let ‘authority’ convince you that you can’t do something. Until you try, you just never know. I attempted my first historical in 2003. I thought it turned out all right. And, only one vampire made an appearance. (wg)

Jaq, That’s pretty much what I did when I started this short. I heard the heroine’s voice in my head and she was ’speaking’ in first person.

CJ, My current WIP is flipping between first and third. I can definitely see the appeal with writing it. I’m just not sure if I can do an entire book yet.
