I write in Third Person since I cringe at all of my writing, but making it third person seems to help me not cringe at my works, so I write with it. It is probably because "you" or "I" makes my brain insert myself into the story and that also makes me unable to read. There are some really good first/second person stories tho, don't get me wrong.

I tend to write in third person, since it's a tad bit easier for me to "gather" all the emotions and thoughts and stuff haha.
Also helps to make more dramatic cliffhangers and drop hints (wink wink nudge nudge) ;)

I like writing in third person, especially third person limited. I find it gives me the chance to write a wide variety of character personalities while still getting control over how the description sounds; some characters have entertaining personalities and ways of speaking, but it'd get exhausting to hear a whole story written in their words

I don't have too many writing projects where this applies, but in the ones I do have tend to vary in perspective. Three are in first person, three more are in third person, and I believe I have one that's written in second person. The rest are informative articles on worlds and beasts I came up with.

Honestly I should do some more second person writing, I rather enjoy it.

This made me laugh as it's so relatable haha even for my old artwork. I also enjoy writing in third person but I believe that's probably the most common view to write in, especially longer stories. I haven't written in a very long time, I use to a lot when I was in High School but lost interest - though recently I've been feeling a creative spark again that I thought was long gone.
Set your heart ablaze. Thank you so much for clicking my creatures! <3
