The view from here is great

Frankly, I should have known my WIP was always meant to be in third person. It caused me so much hassle back in November and now that I'm in the editing stages I've realised it should have always been in third person. Not first. Excuse me while I bash my head against a wall...

Okay, I feel better now. Especially since it's not all bad. The third person narrative I started off with in November? It was too far removed from the story. I had created a narrator rather than tried to tell the story and that was what was causing me problems. Now that I'm switching every single pronoun from first to third person, it's much easier to keep a tight focus on the main character while still giving the readers the worldly information they need without it sounding strange. I mean, there are whole paragraphs where my main character was just reeling information off, information that was a bit strange for her to be giving. With that third person, it seems perfectly natural.
