I started writing a story, and a few questions crossd my mind. Should I write in first-person or third-person POV? Which is better for a "new" writer? Is it ok for me, a female writer, to have a main character who is a male? And, if my MC IS a male, should I use first-person (or is this just weird since I'm a girl?) or third-person? (For the record, right now, my MC is a boy.)
Oh, and should I keep some mystery by using only my MC's POV, or should I get in the head of other characters? For this question, I should probably say that, in my story, there's the main characters (OF COURSE) and then there's a "minor main character", who's always (or almost always) with the MC. This minor MC is a very shy girl, and I don't know if I should explain her mind and what she is thinking when she is quiet and doesn't say a word to the MC, or if I should force the MC and the readers to keep up with a bit of mystery.
Thanks a lot for reading this biiiig speech!! (ok, this smiley is just cute)
