Just a suggestion. You could always go over to the 3rd person side. It allows you to switch POV's almost anytime you want and come across articulate.
I've never quite understood the reluctance of going using third over first. It helps for big casts and when all your characters aren't in the same area.

To be honest, I'm not that good with third person. I prefer first person. First person actually puts you in that individual's head and gives you their perspective in a way that third person doesn't. That's just how I see it. So if anything, I would stick with one person and maybe switch off of the moment called for it.

Welcome to our slice of the internet araceli! To be honest, I'm not that good with third person. I prefer first person. First person actually puts you in that individual's head and gives you their perspective in a way that third person doesn't. That's just how I see it. So if anything, I would stick with one person and maybe switch off of the moment called for it. Alright that's a reasonable answer, although the only way to get better at third person is to practice. Perspective is all about trade off. On the one hand 1st gives you an all access pass to one person, at the cost of not knowing what anyone else is thinking, feeling, or (if that character isn't within earshot) doing. Third allows you to follow n number of characters at a time; know what they think, feel, and do. But you lose that intimate relationship between one character and reader that develops with first. Then there's second, outside of Choose your own Adventure books...there's nothing redeeming about second. However, if anyone reading this has read a good book in second I'd love to read it. |

Our slice = the awesome slice. Thanks Araceli.
I see your point. I've read stories in third person before that were good and did what you say, I guess I am just more comfortable writing in first person. Contrary to my previous statement, I HAVE written in third person before, though it focused more on one character than more. It was alright, I suppose, but something about third person calls to me more. Who knows, I might end up trying it out at some point in time.
As far as second person, I don't think a good book exists with such. It's the most confusing perspective to read in when it comes to stories, which is why I'm glad I haven't seen it very much in all my reading.
Back to the topic at hand, I don't think I'll give Bella a belly ring. Random as heck, yes, but I want to do at least one story where she has/gets one. Weird, I know, but this is me we're talking about here. I blame the story I read. I just don't know what story to put it in. :/

Yeah, well second person can't do much. Because the reader is an explicit character, and the main character at that. It's just a wonky person to attempt to write in.
Yeah, that's pretty random, really random actually. But yes, it is you.

Yes, I know. People should get used to that fact.
I dunno, it seems like it could add to fluff. And I likes fluff. I just have to decide upon the right story to do it with. Maybe I should just put the stories on a dartboard...

I'm sure it could. Alice finding it and being rather inquisitive about it's origin. I think it could work.

Yes, yes, that and more.
It's just the story that I need to pick. Probably not the Solstice series. Hm.
Anyone comes up with an idea, do let me know.

Oh, your quad story. Cause why not?

Perhaps. You aren't the first to suggest that, too. She'd be a...a...whatever you called it, so there wouldn't be a problem with infection or anything. Plus, it'd be cute fluff and somewhat more sultry fluff once Amara and Rose come into the picture.
And then the humor with Emmett. Because we know Emmett well.
If not that, then maybe one where it's just B/A.

She'd be healthy? A robot? Android? Cyborg? Fairy? Werewolf? Vampire? Serial Killer? I have no idea what you were going for there  |

No, no, no! Half human, half vampire. The term you used.
