First-person narration fatigue
For the last year and a half or so, I seem to have been stuck in an endless loop of fiction written in first person. Most of it is good, but I'm gradually getting exhausted. Anyone else with the same feeling? I'm not trying to prove first-person is inferior to third-person (though, admittedly, I do think this way), but reading "Death In Venice" and some Nikolai Leskov short stories recently felt like a cold shower after a hot summer day out. I think I just need to stop dealing in half-measures and pick up a fat brick, written entirely in third person.
