Hello everyone
I’m finally set to put my story to paper. I have been planning it out in my head for about a year now but never wrote anything down. I started with the idea of the main character and kinda built the story around him.
What I can’t decide on now is the perspective. I feel like it’ll be easier to make his thoughts and emotions clear in first person perspective. But on the other side there are things like dialogues from people around him taking place when he is not present that are vital to the story. So I’m not sure how that will work in first person.
Also how do you do character descriptions when you’re writing in first person? I have no idea how to describe the main character in his own words. I don’t really like writing things like “I brushed aside my blonde hair...” etc. and would prefer to go more into detail. That kinda speaks for third person perspective again. Any advice?
Ps.: English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes or weird sentences
