Ever tried writing in the third person? It might sound a bit formal at first, but honestly, it can open up your storytelling in some brilliant ways. When I started the Mistlefield Murder Series, writing in the third person gave me the freedom to dip in and out of different characters’ heads—one minute you're with Orla sensing something’s off, the next you’re following Adrian drooling over a menu. You can use third person limited (sticking close to one character’s thoughts) or third person omniscient (where you’re more like a narrator with a bird’s-eye view). The pros? Flexibility, tension-building, and a bigger scope. The cons? It can be trickier to make the voice feel personal and warm—something I had to work on in the early drafts. But it’s worth playing with! If you usually write in first person, try switching it up for a chapter. It might just unlock something new in your story.
