I tend to prefer third person, but first person makes comedy so much easier. Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series is a prime example. It just wouldn’t be half as funny if it were in third person, as there would be less opportunities to show the character’s thought process.

I like writing in third person because it makes it easier to transition between multiple characters, allowing you to show what’s going on in the world better. I guess it just fits the fantasy genre better?

I wrote a nanowrimo novel in the first person two years ago and crossed the finish line with a few words to spare.
To my amazement, I recently revisited the revised version of my nanowrimo novel only to discover that I enjoyed writing and reading it more than the novel I have been working on for years!
Why is writing in the third person omniscient so much more difficult than writing in the first person? Any ideas?
