I wanted to know everyone's opinion on stories that are told kind of like journal entries. Honestly I haven't read a lot of stories written in this style, but I know a lot exist.
The short story I'm working on has the character facing a life and death situation, and I haven't quite decided which way I want it to end. I really wanted to write in in first person so that the reader can see the story through the character's eyes, but that would require him to live through it and the reader would know this from the beginning, ruining the whole point. So This idea of him writing about the events that happen occurred to me and then if he does die, his last entry could give a good suggestion to it, but I don't know if that style would come off as cheesy or something, so opinions or other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I could always just settle for third person, but I'd like to explore my options.
Thanks in advance!
