I really should be doing a rewrite of a short story, but I'm still goofing off.

Besides, rewrites don't contribute to my NaNoSlashMo word count. s'there!

anyway, I have to rewrite a story from 1st person to 3rd person. It's been recommended to me that I open two word windows side by side and white papre rewrite the story.

I already tried going into the story and changing the POV, but on man that is SO not working. the problem is that 1st gives you nearly seamless internalizations, and --believe it or not, I didn't realize this - just changing the pronouns mean that you end up with this WEIRD omniscient, yet distant effect.
