I noticed that this story book was a bit slow starting, so I edited in an extra part at the end of my post that someone who is lost for ideas can slot their character into that spot and work off that idea. (ie: the idea of turning up expectantly to the residents)
This weekend was not the most suitable for starting off the SB for me, I'll post tomorrow.
An angel, a knight, a man who will bring light to where there is only darkness, I am the Morning Star, the Bringer of Light, hail to me as I am King Lucifer!
I think I might post. Just to let you know, my post will most likely be in first person, unless people have problems with that. I don't write SBs in third person very well.
The figure is a generic person. I left descriptions empty so that someone who is unsure how to start can turn their character into that generic person. I made it so s/he was unexpected so if no-one takes on the role for a while it will not affect the story. S/he is also unexpected to help whoever takes the roll add a little twist by turning up rather than being forced into the house.
So if you're stuck for starting, turn yourself into the doorstep person.
Omniyus. Write your thing out on a word file or something in first person. Then go back and change all the first person pronouns to third person pronouns and change a few words so it makes sense. This is a lot easier than it seems and i do it all the time if i accidentally write in first person.
There isn't anything wrong with writing in first person, I implore you. I have a hard time writing in third person myself, and I see no reason why I should give in to the masses to write as third person. Frankly, it makes it difficult to differentiate who's who when you're reading.
I will keep mine to first person, unless it utterly destroys the SB, which it will not.
I'm sorry if I'm being harsh, but I am in a few SBs myself, and everyone of them use first person. It is just fine that way to me. If you guys don't like it, then by all means, tell me off, if you do, I will most likely change it, if not, then I will not, for it is easier to me.
