[stylist] Introducing Your Main Character When Writing In Second Person

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Vejas,

You can do it however you like. I do not recommend writing an entire story
in second person, but as long as you're consistent, there's no real rules.

Usually second person is employed to make something personal to the reader.
Really pull the reader in, make them reflect.

Hi All,
I have never written a story in second person before and would like to try
it.
I was just wondering how you introduce the character.
It seems kind of awkward to start with:
"Your name is Kelly, and you just graduated from a 9-month training center."
Is that OK, or is it better to not introduce who the you character is and
just have someone calling Kelly's name?
Thanks,
Vejas
