Okay so the short story I've had sitting around unfinished for the past twelve months, I've decided it needs a slight refocus. Honestly, when I actually try the biggest strength of my writing is the voice. If I'm writing in first person I get to play around with words more, be a bit silly and sound like a real person instead of the VOICE OF GOD which is what you're supposed to do with third person stuff. Really. That's what you're supposed to be. When we were learning writing the teacher told us if you use third person, don't use contractions because god doesn't use them. Whatever.
So yeah, I'm going to have to convert the whole deal over to the point of view of the narrator. Maybe I'll even do it in a classic envelope, like Marlowe dictating his love affair with Kurtz. Which I guess is kind of what this story is about. Except not.
