Q: SD, what is the
difference in writing in first and second person?
A: Basically what you are looking at are pronouns that
replace nouns as the subject of a sentence. As you already know a person using
their own name while they speak is speaking in the third person. Normally, this
person thinks much of themselves or someone who has trouble thinking at all.
Sorry, but I had to get that one off my chest. Let’s first understand that
there are two pronouns that exist for writing in each person and they are
singular and plural. When writing in the first person the two that are the
easiest to understand are the words like “I, Me (singular)” and “We, Us
(plural)”. As for writing in the second-person, it is writing in the point of
view of the reader or character who is reading. Words like “You, Your, and
Yours (are both singular and plural).” What I believe (my fought if I
misunderstood) is the use of a character’s name more than once, even if it is
in conjunction with a first person pronoun. For example; Raymond and I were
ready to enter the hall, but he suddenly put his face in a nearby trash can to
place the lunch he had just eaten. When
he rose, I could tell he was ready. Now if we didn’t use the pronouns it would
read (also grammatically correct). Raymond and I were ready to enter the hall,
but Raymond suddenly put Raymond’ face in a nearby trash can to place the lunch
Raymond had just eaten. When he rose, I
could tell Raymond was ready. This is also a nice third person example. I’m far
from a grammar expert, but I hope this helps you get started. SD
Q: SD, who do you
think makes a better villain, men or women?
A: Both and neither. Did you actually think there was going
to be a simple answer to that one? Men are great villains if you clarify their
reason for doing bad things. Their motivation can be for money, power, the love
of a woman, or revenge. Simple motivations are the best when it comes to male
villains. As far as it goes for the female villains being bad, it is the skies
the limit and beyond imagination. Oh, but their villainy is subtle and manful for
not only themselves but for everyone around. Whatever their motivations, it
isn’t simply solved by shooting someone in the head, or blowing up some
building. When female villains do something they are, first and foremost, out
to prove a point. Not only that, when they do what they do, not everyone sees
them as the villain and in some why understands why they had flipped out. One
of the greatest attributes of a female villain is they are rarely caused harm
to the man who had done them wrong, but to everyone and anyone who was involved
or knew what they were up to and didn’t warn them. In their eyes, they are just
as guilty no matter if they male, female, and especially close friends. Female villains are more classy with their unbridled hatred and mindless destruction, where male villains just like to blow
crap up. I hope this helps. SD
Q: SD, Can you
really complete one story and yet start up another one at the same time without
the ending being a cliffhanger?
A: Yes. It is called the riding off into the sunset effect.
The promise of an ending of a long hard fought challenge with the victors
finally having a moment to rest. Love triangles are now broken and all that is
left is the happy ending. Take this, for instance. Let’s say that you diffuse
the bomb and had saved your love interest from the other person who was
prepared to kill them because they couldn’t have them. Yes, the old if I can
have you then no one will. Now that all the clues are solved, no loose ends to
tie off, and the misguided fool is behind bars (or better still dead). You
profess your love and it is replicated. All that is left is to wave at all
those who had assisted you to bring to the end, one extremely trying and
complicated time in your life. This is where it is and isn’t a cliff hanger. An
old lady walks up to the grave of the third wheel and drops some flowers on
their grave and walks away shaking their head sadly and says I knew where I
went wrong. Or, the maximum security jail cell’s door opens and a man walked in
with a smile on his face. He is very large and scary and wearing a prisoner's
uniform. He has a wild and hungry look in his eyes when he asked; why did he
have to kill his baby he had only seen once? Is the story ended, yes and no. is
there a cliff hanger? Ah, yes and no. I hope this helps. SD
