First or Third?

The comments from the last post (thank you for commenting!) brought me to a follow up question for today...

You want to read a novel that pulls you in, but would you rather read a story in first or third person? Many people can relate more with a character when he presents himself/herself in first person.

What do you think? First or Third?

Two Questions Continued...

To be more specific on the two questions, I was getting at what a reader wants to see in a fiction novel.

Many writers have a hard time knowing what readers want to see in their work. What makes the difference between throwing a book aside after two chapters or being glued so that you can't put the book down? What, in specific, makes you want to keep reading?

A Center of Ideas

This is a new blog for writers to connect and share ideas. Feel free to post any ideas, prompts, questions, or helpful material for aspiring writers!

For today, I wanted to start with two questions that many new writers struggle with when beginning to write...
  
1. What do you look for in a book?
2. What are you interested in reading?
