I know, I know. Third or First?

I've been writing this story, and I've gotten to a point where I NEED to change which character I've been telling the story through. (She's unconcious/presumed dead) o.O HOWEVER. I really like writing it in first person and it's awkward to change from first to third to first. And writing it all in third just seems weird.

Part of Chpt 1 in First Person

Same part of Chpt 1 in Third Person

I've lost the notebook where the needed switch of pov is written. I've been looking, but I can't find it. crying And I was so far.

If you write one way through most of the book, it's best to keep writing in that way unless you're doing a transition or something like Salvatore often does in his Drizzt books. I rather enjoy that technique. If you haven't read those, I can explain upon request.

Do what suits you best. It'll be more satisfactory, and it'll come out better.
