Margaret Fieland: Poetry and Prose


Challenge update — POV

Posted in Children's writing, writing, writing process by Administrator on the September 20th, 2009

Saturday, by which point I had just over 8000 words, I was struck by the notion that I needed to write this book in the first person. My previous one (recently completed) is third person — so I guess it never really occurred to me to question it.

Anyway, part of the challenge is not to go back and rewrite. I struggled with my inner editor over this — IE really wanted to go back and rewrite, but I finally stomped on IE and just went ahead and started writing in first person. {Whew} —

I’m now up over 8600 words. Yippee! And now back to writing ..
