Part of the Your Writing Questions Answered Series


Q: I struggle with internalization in first person POV. I've read your internalization 101 post. Maybe it's that I don't know my character well enough to get a feel for how she would describe what she sees, feels, hears etc. I don't feel like I'm quite there with her voice and I think big part of it comes down to her thoughts (or lack thereof).

A: I answered the first part of this question last week, and today, I’ll dive in with the differences between writing first-person and third-person internalization.
