Just touch ups now and I should have them all back out within two weeks.

When I first wrote my books it was third person present tense. A lot of people don't like present tense and I now see why. It was a struggle to write in present tense. No one tells you a story as it happens. The human brain naturally rejects present tense.

I found I can expand my writing greatly by going into someone’s head in first person. No one can tell their own story as well as the person it has happened to. I learned a lot from Avangar. Because I already had the stories in third person I had a lot to work with. I just had to pick the person that had the best perspective to be my first person storyteller.

So my advice would be to try first person past tense. First person because you can bring your own experiences as a human into your story telling. Put yourself in the characters place. Tell the story with the characteristics you think they would project.(less)

Quotes by B.E. Crittenden (?)

“Like all philosophers, I am an observer of the human condition. I have found through my observations that an intelligent man and a humble man are rarely the same person.
Jao-long from my book Aztec Legend Lord of the Jaguars.”
― B.E. Crittenden
