[stylist] Point of View Provoker

Wed Mar 25 19:20:50 UTC 2009

"Demon decendants" is written in the 3rd person perspective. Although
I have one character writing letters to another which of course is
written in first person. So in that way I kind of do both.
"A Deafblind girl" Is written entirely in the first person.
