b'Bree Despain joins us for a discussion of writing the first-person viewpoint. We talk about "method writing" and get briefly creeped out by Dan. We discuss some key aspects of this particular POV, including the unreliable narrator, the over-the-shoulder vs. the memoir perspective, and the presence or absence of a framing story.
\\n
\\nWe cover a few pitfalls, including the clich\\xe9d "mirror scene," and then offer advice to new writers who are looking for ways to get first person right the first time.
