We�ve always seen a lot of writings that are referred to first person pronoun writing. Most people do it for personal reason and others just want to share something for the public. but the hardest part of it is that a lot of us are not that knowledgeable on how to write the first person pronoun properly.
What�s the story behind it? Why do a lot of people like to write it that way? Why not the other way around like the opposite one? For some reason, writers have different purposes on how to make their contents look great and pleasing in the yes of their readers.
For beginners, it not that easy to write it that way. It requires a lot of learning and applications in order to master that kind of writing. However, if you seem like it is not enough to write your topic down effectively and efficiently. Then why not follow some techniques or tips on how to write well especially in writing first person pronoun.
You can see how some writers had managed to write better than the rest of them. It�s like writing in an easy and secure way than the time-consuming one and where your efforts are left undone. So, how are you going to write it? Let me discuss to you the things that a writer ought to know about first person pronoun writing.
Writing scenes in the first person can be tricky. In fact, I�ve seen seasoned writers run across problems when doing them. The challenge often has to do with the frequent self-reference � using �I� just seems so natural on a first-person piece that it can end up making the text sound awkward.
Reducing the amount of times you use the pronoun �I� is a primary concern when writing in the first person. The less you employ it, the less cumbersome your material usually reads. Here are a few tips to help you accomplish that:
1. Remember that it�s already assumed, from the onset, that the story is told from the writer�s point of view. As such, you no longer need to remind the reader that �I� am doing the thinking, speaking and narrating. Declaring �I saw,� �I imagined� or �I thought� is simply redundant.
2. Keep a keen eye for the excessive use of �I� during editing. When you�re drafting, it may break your flow to count how many times you reference yourself. If you find that to be an issue, then leave checking for your use of the word �I� during the editing process. Make sure to revise excessive use by rewriting the entire sentence. You can use an English checking software to help run these checks.
3. Read first person writing from accomplished authors. You can learn a lot about how to properly use self-references from studying the works of those before you. See how often they use the pronoun �I� in a page and in a string of paragraphs, getting a feel for what you find to be a balanced amount.
