Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Ok hello all I just recently joined have been enjoying reading others discussions and topics immensely. About a week ago an idea struck me for a story and I just started writing. With the help of a friend I feel its fleshing out pretty well so far. Though this is my first attempt as well as the first time I have worked on each chapter independently from the I would greatly appreciate any tips from some more expierenced writers. My story is under my profile in my writings section if anyone feels up to looking it over. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Just finished the rough draft of chapter 4

I'm not an experienced writer but I wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I like how the storyline is developing - a few gaps here and there and a few more commas would help it read more fluidly, but some nice imagery. I look forward to reading more.

I will definitely take a look, Scot. :)

Thank you for the input. I am considering this all a rough draft of the final project until I flesh the story out a bit more.

New question for those who take a look at my story. I know I hae an issue with going back and forth between third and first person which is something I really wanted to avoid. What do you guys think I should do?

I think that its a personal choice really. I have read alot of books both ways. I think that you should take a few moments, and think about how you want your character to be perseved. Do you want the story to be told by him? Or would you rather tell it for him? Either way, I think you are off to a great rough draft. But, I would figure out which person you want to write in before you get any farther lol. Save yourself alot of re-write :) Just a suggestion :)

Yea that was my same thought. Have already gone back numerous times re-writing this and that. I think im going to stick with third I feel I can describe the romance a bit easier that way.

I think that is a wise decision :) One of my favorite series is Sookie Stackhouse and Its in Her voice. Sometimes it gets a little tricky if there is a whole lot going on. I think that the third will work well for you. YAY! =o) Good Luck!

Please don't change it from the third person. It's more fun that way!!!

No worries Desi I am sticking with the original plan
