It's introspection and description that I find tiresome. Tell me what you do and say and I'll figure you out; I don't need you to self-analyze yourself for me to understand you.

In general, I like third-person narratives, too (although there are some authors whose work I very much like who use first person and do it quite well).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
