Sorry to keep bombarding the boards with questions! I'm having a lot of problems shifting my writing to 3rd person POV. Writing stories in 1st person POV comes naturally to me and it shows in the end product. My 3rd person stuff, however, has a stilted, trying-too-hard feel to it. What the heck am I doing wrong? Is it a problem with my thought process?
Maybe I should try writing my first novel in 1st person (to teach myself how to write a longer work), write some more 3rd person POV short stories to feel more comfortable with the POV, and then tackle a 3rd person novel later?
So frustrating......
