Thank you very much for taking the time to explain your feelings about this; it's a valuable perspective that, up until now, I have not consciously considered...🤔🧐🤨😀

You've given me an opportunity to reflect on my choice of first person narrative style in most of my fiction.

At its core, I suspect mine is a rather selfish choice; truth be told, I write fiction mostly for myself, an escape from "the real world" into some more desirable alternate universe where my fantasies are realized.

And, I also suppose I haven't considered your viewpoint because mine is quite different; when I read fiction and fantasy, I have a strong desire to descend into the story, to become--at least for a time-- the character experiencing the unfolding events.

Robert A. Heinlein is my favorite author of science fiction, and his voice of choice is predominantly first person; I have little doubt this has also influenced my own writing.

And so, thank you again, my friend, for sharing your perspective and bringing your reaction to my attention.🙏🏻😁 You've given me something new to think about.😃

Should you happen to be able to overcome your aversion to first person and read my story, I would value hearing your response.🙏🏻😀👍
