| Buchanan, most definitely. It encompasses everything, and then some! |

Third normally and first everyonce in a while. I did write a piece in second person though  . That was fun...

| I usually write in the omniscient point of view, but that's not represented in this poll... but the closest thing is third person |

Buchanan Perspective is the only perspective. Because first is annoying to write, second confuses me, but omniscient is cool to, I don't like to give my characters privacy, I occasionally don't let the reader know what the mysterious person is thinking though *evil laugh* But, still Buchanan is ruler of all writing.  (Buchanan is the one with the hammer.) |

| Harry-person. Is it still first person? You know... first person, only you use the name, or he/she instead of I. |

My stories always change perspectives as the focus on characters change For example, in "The Edge of a Straight Razor" all parts focused on Jacob he would narrate, while Old Detective John Mills I would follow with third person narration, so when I finally changed into first person with him, it would be more of an impact. I also like to go first person with small characters. To follow on the example, one of the victim's mothers had a small monologue in a crucial part of the story.
But, the truth is, I'm best when I'm writing in first person perspective. |

| I'm best with third person, I like it the most as well. First person is a close second, though. |

I much prefer third person.
My mind boggles at Pat Buchanan perspective. |
