I think the neutral, objective narration of journalism propelled me toward the first-person with my first novel. After a few years in newspapers I had an urge to let loose all those suppressed opinions. And the “I” key on my typewriter (yes, I go back that far), had barely been used.

Interesting post here. I’ve been thinking a lot about first-person writing, since it’s new to me coming from the newspaper world. Always open to your insight!
