Curate, connect, and discover
I realise now why I don't like reading first person POV fanfics.
Nobody ever writes them correctly. Instead of writing with the personality of the character, the character ends up sounding so detached from the events. It's like they're the faceless narrator recording the events and then jump in to interact when it's their turn to talk.
Just saw someone try to write Danny in the first person POV. The writing was fine, but the POV wasn't POVing.
Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is an excellent example of a successful first person POV.
I remember reading the book for the first time at 13. I've never read a book with a first person POV until then and for a while I wrote a lot of my stories with that POV.
I suck at writing first person POV these days. Unfortunately knowing why I suck doesn't help me suck any less 🥲
