If you loved him and his music, you have to see it - take a box of tissues, sit in the back and don't bother wearing makeup - you'll come out with none. <br /><br />After that, I was down for the count until yesterday. Must have picked some bug up.

How extensive it is I don't have a clue. However, LSB has published a few first person stories like ONCE BITTEN by Trina.

Or, a prologue. <br /><br />I've read a few author articles from the Biggies where they have mixed POVs.<br /><br />That ONE review makes me want to finish one of my 'first person' WIPs... just for challenge and the 'up yours'.<br /><br />That's not to say I think everyone has to enjoy firstSavanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265233912912703190.post-75938944535733045672009-04-22T14:29:00.000-05:002009-04-22T14:29:00.000-05:00Hi Bekki,

I know some folk don't. Myabe the reviewer was someone who didn't.<br /><br />Re your own story - you could maybe try a mixture of first person and third person viewpoints.
