I hate 1st person reading too, drives me insane.

Summers at your Grandparents' farm....sounds so nice. :)

I go in cycles with memes, but I've been posting a few lately. Might have to do this one.

Ick, spiders. If I found a spider on me I think I wouldn't sleep for a while. D:

Yay for cockatoos, however. :D

Out of curiosity, why don't you like 1st person?

I have avoided the trauma unit thus far in my life. Knock on wood. The ER in general, however ... oh well.

I don't care for first person because I like to know what all the characters are thinking and feeling. Don't get me wrong. I read it but it has to be really good for me to read it through. I just cringe at the word "I" I think people put too much of themselves in I than when they speak for each character. Certain writers CAN do it though--Patterson, John Sandford.

Your stories are usually second person where the thoughts and feelings are from one perspective like Pascal and it is done well or I'd of quit reading long ago.

They've had a couple of our Predators down in our ER but never hurt bad enough to come to trauma.

Are you writing. Am at work and my helicopter just landed with my next trauma so gotta run. Will catch you later.

Ahhh okay. I see what you mean, and I agree, I think a lot of the time you get too much 'author' in first person. It's tricky to write, particularly for long periods of time, and it's hard to really get 'into' someone else's head that way.

Thanks. :)

At the moment I'm not writing, the Sens just lost (poor Pascal), I'm thinking about it. :)

Have a good shift.

bEING AT THE FARM EVERY SUMMERFROM THE EARLIEST i CAN REMEMBER WITH MY COUSINS AND SISTERS AS THEY TURNED 6 WAS WONDERFUL. WE WERE WILD CHILD. GRANDPA DIED WHEN i WAS 12 SO NEVER WENT BACK AFTER THAT, EXCEPT SHORT VISITS.
