Your opinion matters: Journal Entry #23

Previous Journal Entry (22): [link]
-------

Okay, so, with this new story in mind, I was wondering which view of person I should choose. 1st person or 3rd person.

I mean, writing in 1st person is easier because expressing feelings isn't hard and it doesn't sound "fake" for lack of a better word. It seems more real and you get to "be" the person who's narrorating the story.

3rd person is a little harder to write with emotions, but it's the choice I usually like to write from better. I can go from anyone's view if I like: 3rd person omniscient. And also, just zoom into one person without going too much into their head: 3rd person limited.

I'm so confused! Writing in 1st person would be a fresh change, but yet 3rd person is what I'm more comfortable with. Could you -- the reader of this journal -- tell me your opinion on this matter? Should I write in 1st person? Or write in 3rd person? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY if you tell me.

Thanks much :)
