Kaimani Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 am planning on writing a book written from the point of view of a voice in a guy's head. also trying to do away with 'he said' 'she said'. hope you like it. http://sheffieldwriters.ath.cx/SFStoryArchive/1295487199.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyleys Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I see you have tried to achieve this by omitting any reference to 1st or 3rd person’s perspective; if you are going to use dialogue I think you may have a problem. Why not use the 3rd person’s perspective but somehow introduce a 4th person’s perspective - if there is such a thing - that person being an omniscient or spiritual overseer. Given the protagonists frame of mind it may work. Does this make sense or am I rambling? My frame of mind is tired, so I’m off to bed, good night all.

My frame of mind is tired, so I’m off to bed, good night all. i think i get what you mean. and it's a good idea. going for a lot of breaking through the fourth wall so it would work, i think. i hope. will keep at it. thanks for the feedback.
