Any recommendations for first person contemporary fantasy? Particularly one with a male narrator? Trying to get away from the repetitive “I” syndrome. I may have to try writing a scene in third person, then switching it over.
Have you tried the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs? The first book is Moon Called, I believe. It's first person urban fantasy, not narrated by a guy but fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI am struggling with repetitive-I-syndrome too :( One tip that helped me is that instead of saying "I noticed/saw/etc him coming out of the woods" you can just say "He came out of the woods" since it's understood that your POV character noticed it in order to relate it to the reader. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the advice, Lynn. I'll have to check out the Mercy Thompson series. :-)
