Mixing 1st Person and 3rd Person
Asked by Curt Wellumson on January 13, 2023
Hi Jerry,
My YA novel is in 1st person. Is it okay to sometimes bring in a little 3rd person? When I proof read, I kind of trip over the 3rd as if it shouldn't be there. Thanks for your advice!

Trust your gut, Curt, because I agree with you. Pick a person and stick with it. :)
