Writer's Diary

Can I just say, Arghh!!

Worked away on DX today. Things went well. Did a read through and hmm. OK. It's flat. And just now I thought, Hmm. Maybe if I completely redo the style and write in the first person, that would be very interesting. I have about 13,000 words, which means that essentially the story is done, the rest of the word count should come with the conclusion plus filling in stuff. So, I think I have time to try. It's risky, though. I'd have to send it out way early, including probably to my editor, in case he hates it.

No elf sightings. Darn.

Comments:
I think--thanks to Laurell K. Hamilton--that first-person stories are a lot more acceptable in paranormal than in other genres, so I say, go for it! And I love first person, so yay!
