Anyone here with experience in this style?
I know it's typically frowned upon, or at least that's what I've been reading in some "tips" threads. Problem is, that's what comes naturally for me... I did a short story thing for an Ark RP group in 1st person and it came together ok I guess, people seemed to enjoy it (or at least were fake and I couldn't tell). Now though I'm going to try to write for realskies an actual story that can maybe be a book some day, so I'm wondering if it can work if I really put my mind to it, or if I should try my hardest to go with the standard 3rd person.
Are there any successful examples you know of in 1st person writing?
If you are someone who does it or are familiar with it, what are some tips you might have specific to this style?
Right now I'm stuck just on the first opening line simply because I can't seem to think of a 3rd person view way of putting words, arg.
