This was when I started playing Witcher 3 on Twitch as part of my physical therapy to regain finger movement. Playing Witcher 3 daily from 2016 to 2019, is how I regained the use of my thumb and two for fingers on my right hand... it is also why I stopped playing Witcher 3 in 2019, once I had strengthen my two forefingers enough to start typing again.

Counting Down to the September 23, 2028 50th Anniversary of my first published book (September 23, 1978)

If you are here looking for The Twighlight Manor series, The Crystonite Wars series, The Wild Years series, The White Rock Asylum for the Criminally Insane series, The Twisted Tales series, the Captured By a MerMan series, The Space Dock 13 series, The Kats of Planet Ptarmagin series, the stories about Miss Citten the Eel-Kat, or the stories about Etiole... ALL of those series were combined and consolidated into The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane Pink Necromancer series in 2014, so ALL the different series, are now under one series title.

List of the published titles still in print:

The Index of over three thousand stories in The Pink Necromancer series

What the series is about, for those new here:

The introduction to The Pink Necromancer Series. 

If you want some stories to get you started in The Pink Necromancer series, reading these first will give you a good introduction to the 3 main characters:

My Elves Are JellyFish...and I asked Google AI and ChatGPT 5.6 what they thought of this.

As requested, my daily writing prompt series is now available print paperback editions on Amazon.

There are 20 volumes of this writing prompt series currently planned and in varying stages of finishing, hopefully all 20 will be published by the end of 2026. I likely will do a 2nd series of writing prompt books in 2027.

The first of the Visual Novels/Video Games for The Adventures of Quaraun the Inane/The Pink Necromancer series is published and available on Itch.io, there are 3 more planned for release in 2026, 6 more planned for release in 2027, and the big 60-hour 80k word 150 page one (Quaraun Goes To the Fair) is planned for a 2028 release.

There is a Pink Necromancer card game and a Pink Necromancer board game, as well as a Pink Necromancer table top RPG supliment for Dungeons and Dragons, all in the works, and to be released over the next couple of years as well.

Health update: August 4, 2026 - in recovery for 6 months+ (at least until mid-January 2027...all book and video game releases are pushed back at least 6 months) see video below for why...

Update Sept 3, 2026:

I am able to get around enough to take Koko to dog park... today is 29 days since getting out of hospital. My diet is still mostly liquid, but im eating some solid food again, but its like rice or soft mushy baby food type stuff because I still can not chew yet, though I can swallow again. My jaw is still not functioning good so im having trouble talking still. So there's been slight improvement to my mouth, throat, and jaw, but, zero improvement to my eye, which is a major concern, be Im almost fully blind right now. im legally blind since birth in my left eye, so I have no ability to fall back on using my left eye. My right eye is the one injured and my vision in it is "40% decreased" according to my doctor, but it wasn't good vision to begin with, and right now my right eye is not much different from my legally blind left eye. Which I why I have to have someone drive my car for me instead of me driving my car myself right now, which is very frustrating, because, being a female, I had to fight for over twenty years to be allowed to drive. I started sneaking out at age 31 and dressing as a man to go to Old Orchard Beach high school to get a ged, because us females are not allowed to go to school. And i was 37 years old when snuck out to the DMV and got a driver's permit and started going to college. I was 42 and 8 months pregnant when my family found out I was going to college and thats when I was punished by the backhoe driving over my house and my spine broken with a golf club and my baby born right then and killed with same golf club. So it's very frustrating now, so soon after finally being able to drive , to now not be able to drive because of an eye injury, especially after 14 years of being paralyzed from the golf club and not being allowed to have a wheelchair, again, because i am female and we females are simply not allowed to do anything. I hate the culture I was born into. I wish I had the freedom to go to school and drive a car the way American women do. I wish having my spine broken with a golf club and my baby killed with a golf club and a backhoe driven over my house was not how men in my family punishment women in my family for learning to read and write. Its so frustrating not being able to to drive again, so soon after 14 years being paralyzed, and being paralyzed by the golf club was the punishment for getting a driver's license back in 2013 after 30 years of men not letting me have one. I hate my family's culture and how they treat us women.

I get so sick of Americans telling me how they wish they could be a Gypsy… they are either misogynist woman hating pigs, or delusional idiots who haven't got a clue how shittily we Gypsy women are treated by Gypsy men, because no one in their righ mind who knows anything about Gypsy culture would ever want to be part of it. I hate that I was born a Gypsy.

"You would not make a good teacher"... what does that mean, and why are there so many people on Railroad Ave and Western Ave and Cutts St why walk up to me and say that to me?

I find it very confusing. I have low functioning Autism (the Rain Man type) and so i have very little understanding of words beyond the basic ones, and i never went to to school, so I never learned maths or sciences, and I only had remedial classes at Southern Maine Community College, because I did not have an education to enroll with regular, I was there taking every reading and writing class they had to learn how to read and write, and also took speaking classes to learn how to talk (i spoke Shetland Scottish language because that was language my grandmother spoke but she died when I was 8 so I only knew that language to speak and write, and I was 37 when I went to college and 42 when I learned English speaking and I still cant speak English good yet), all the other classes I took were art painting and cooking.

So the phrase "You would not make a good teacher" makes no sense to me because it seems to imply that I am trying to be a teacher, but I don't have anything close to the education ti be a teacher, and im not trying to be a teacher. So I don't know why people keep saying this phrase to me and I assume it must have some sort of a slang meaning, but I can't figure out what it could be of why do these people keep saying it to me.

update Sept 15, 2026:

I have some slight movement in some my fingers again again after over a decade being paralyzed

you remember how I used to be a professional doll making, pattern designer, and embroiderer, back before I became paralized and before my son was murdered and being the backhoe drove over my house?

all my equipment, sewing machines, ect were all destroyed by the backhoe driving over my house, and I have been quardepelegic for over a decade because of it so could not use my hands to sew or draw or embroider, and so only continued to do my writing of novels since then because I could do that with dragon dictation software,

well, since 2016, I been playing Witcher 3 and don't starve video games on twitch livestream, one hand two fingers, as part of my therapy to regain nerve and muscle use of my fingers, and now after 10 years of that, I have somewhat more movement in my fingers and im thinking maybe I can try to do embroidery and doll making again, but not sure, anyways, now im rebuying all of my sewing and embroidery equipment that the backhoe destroyed when it drove over my house, and hopefully I can use my hand enough to embroider again.

waiting for stuff to arrive in mail, so soon I should find out if ten years of twitch gaming has given me enough muscle strength to use my fingers to embroider again.

update to the previous video, answering viewer question about lack of hospital vs broken spine

Wheelchair Fundraiser... I need to upgrade to a power wheelchair, the manual one just isn't enough anymore. But the power wheelchair is $25k. Yes, twenty five thousand dollars. Wtf? I can get a car for a quarter that price, why are wheelchairs so damned expensive? That's more money then I make in five years, so I need to start a fundraiser for it.

Thoughts on Point of View
When Writing Your Novel

Answering the following
Point of View questions:


Changing PoV Every Chapter?

Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator?

How to write PoV for drunk or hallucinating characters?

First or third person? Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories?

Changing PoV every chapter

Changing PoV every chapter from writing

Changing PoV every chapter

Changing PoV Every Chapter | Writing Your Novel

I tried it once in one novel. I had 3 main characters. A young girl (1st person POV), her father (3rd person POV), and her grandfather (3rd person POV, from a flamboyant character who talks about himself in the 3rd person). Every chapter rotated between them. It went like this:

Chap1: ChA's POV on the event.

Chap2: ChB's POV on the same event.

Chap3: ChC's POV on the same event.

Chap4: ChA's POV on next event.

Chap5: ChB's POV on the same event.

Chap6: ChC's POV on the same event.

...and so on.

So, the reader saw each event 3 times.

For example, in one chapter the girl was sick and vomiting and you see her reaction, knowing she's pregnant, and hiding this from her family because she's only 14. You see her run from the dining room then lock herself in her room. You see her in her room, and hear her thoughts.

Then in the next chapter, you see her father, a recently divorced dad, whose wife just left him for someone else, and he's trying to hold what's left of his family together, he's worried about this, that, and the other thing, then suddenly his daughter whos been acting sick for a few days runs out of the room vomiting, locks herself in her room and is not answering the door while he's trying to find out if she's okay.

Then in the following chapter you see the grandfather, a elderly retired actor, flamboyant and self centered, unable to accept his career is over, not really caring much about his son or granddaughter, is witnessing his son's life falling apart, but is too busy being self centered to care. He sees his granddaughter run out vomiting and his son, her father, run out after her, but he just shrugs and goes back to his memorabilia from his past.

The whole novel continues to rotate in this manner, every 3 chapters showing the other character's dramatically different point of view of the exact same event. You end up seeing how 3 generations are affected by and react to the world around them and how though each of them are experiencing the same life events, they each experience very differently from the other two.

Of all the books I've ever written, this one was by far the most difficult and most complicated to write. It was so nerve wracking at times, trying to make sure I included each detail. Like if I had the father drinking coffee in Chap 1, I had to remember to have him drinking coffee in chapters 2 and 3 as well. It was SO easy ti slip up on the tiny details like that.

I rarely use outlines, almost always pantsing my way through a novel, but for this one I had to write an outline just to make sure I got everything in order. And I had to write 3 outlines, one for each character, then, figure out how to overlap them into one story.

It was a NIGHTMARE to write!

It was also one of my favourite stories I ever wrote though. I felt like I was getting to know more about the story, because I was seeing 3 different people each telling it from 3 very different ways.

It was definitely mentally exhausting to write, and it took MONTHS to write. Usually I pound out a first draft free flow writing it in a weekend. Because of the 3 POV characters in this one and the need to be matching everything up, it took me 6 months just to get through the 1st draft.

Interestingly, this is also the story that my readers... HATED... a lot.

It was the first novel I published. It was published on 2006. It was unpublished because of fan outcries in 2007, leaving it the most obscure, and difficult to find volume of The Twighlight Manor series.

And if you know the Twighlight Manor series, you know of course that this is Love, Lust, Madness.

The Twighlight Manor series rotates main characters, with there being 75 separate main characters being featured in the series depending on which characters were used in which stories. Rarely do more than 5 characters ever get featured in any one story at once.

At the time, Etiole was the primary main character of the series. He is the grandfather in this novel. The son his Phozeen, with the story being set days after Hornet aka Dulcee leaves him for FrostJackle. The girl is Etiole's granddaughter Ptarmagin.

This story hit a lot of nerves, with fans, as it was the story which shows Etiole's darker side. (He is the father of Ptarmagin's baby.) 

It was also the first story to show Phozeen's violent nature (when he tried to kill Etiole.)

And while suicide has been a long running theme in the series since the 1990s, it was the first volume to show a graphicly detailed on page suicide.

The thing which ticked off readers the most however, was the fact that this was written, with it being the FINAL story of the Twighlight Manor series, and Etiole dies in this story.

Etiole is by far the character who has the most fans of any character in the series and killing him off, sent fans into a frenzy, many of them storming their way to FanFiction.net and their own various fanfiction blogs to rewrite this story. 

As far as I know, Love, Lust, Madness was the ONLY story in the set to ever have fanfiction written about it....and written not because they liked the story, but rather because they hated the ending and wanted to rewrite it.

In the weeks following its publication, my inbox was quickly flooded with hundreds of reader out cries, many of them begging me not to stop writing this series that I had written since 1978.

Others asking me to write another story, a part 2 to Love Lust Madness, to reveal that Etiole had "not died".

Still others decried the death of the baby.

And interestingly, every email asked why this was a novel and not a short story, as the entire series was short stories, with Love Lust Madness being the first novel of the series.

In the years before this, I had received one or two fan mails here or there, and was not fully aware of how many fans I actually had.

This sudden outpouring of hundreds of fans coming forward and begging the series to continue, opened my eyes to just exactly how many readers I really had out there, and how much they deeply and truly loved this series.

I had intended Love Lust Madness to be the final story of the series, and had not planned on writing any more stories for The Twighlight Manor series.

I had long seen The Twighlight Manor series as a failure. It's sales have always been minimal at best, and local protects by various church had just reached a new violent high - October 18, 2006 a bomb blew up my house and an 8 foot tall Ku Klux Klan cross erected where my house had been days earlier. Members of the Saco Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Tim Smith, Kathy Smith, Joel Bailey, Mary Bailey, Easter Rhodes, Tommy Bryant, Dan Kenning, Jim Thomas, and Mary Elizabeth Chapman) gathered in my driveway after the bomb, to chant that I was a witch, stating they had asked God for the bomb to get rid of me and my Satanic books. (Keeping in mind this was the same church group who had banned the books I wrote in 1991).

Love Lust Madness was written, during Maine's -20F winter, the year that reached the record breaking -47f... while I was living under a 8x6 tarp with no protection from the cold.

I had no reason to think I would survive the end of winter, living under a tarp, and thus I wrote Love Lust Madness not only to end the series, but also to be my final book, as I fully expected to freeze to death before winter ended.

Today is June 16, 2021
It's been many years since this page has seen an update, but today is that day. Here is another question I found about PoV switching. Somewhat different, but, close enough that I feel it belongs on this page...

Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator?

And uhm... wow... well, here's a response for you... remind you of someone? Teddy bears perhaps? I'm so very tempted to write a novel based off of this thread of, well, replies?

I'm just left to ask, what in the world triggered this commenter?

A troll attacked the OP while I was typing my answer... yie!

Ah! So, I clicked the user's profile, to see their posting history. WOW!

As they are typing these comments (right now - there were only 8 when I started writing this and there are now 43, in under 20 minutes) They are also one 4 OTHER subReddits typing very similar comments, AND they are one 2 other threads on THIS subReddit also posting like this. In one of the other subReddits they are bragging that they are drunk on tequila, whatever that is, I Googled it and apparently it's a drink?

But wow oh wow, if you want to see a mega troll in action on Reddit, just click on their comment, go to their profile, and see the THOUSANDS of hyper drunk comments they have left. Yie! Okay, well, that explains the attack on the OP here. They aren't just attacking the OP, they are just attacking everyone.

Well, anyways, when I typed my answer for this question, it had ZERO comments. When I went to post it, it had 4 comments. y the time I finished reading those, the troll had landed. I had not yet posted my comment because I was reading the wild insanity the the comment thread.

By the time I got done reading the comments a mod came in and closed the thread, so my answer never got posted, LOL!

Well, here it is anyways.


>>>Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator? 

>>>Is it okay for a third person omniscient narrator, when zooming into a character who is drunk/hallucinating, to report the imagined things he sees as though they were facts? Eg. "There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc which might give away everything too early. Has this been done?

>>>Edit: I'm thinking that the unreliability happens in just one instance in the story (when the stuff is revealed not to have happened), while the rest of it remains reliably told. Does this make it any more acceptable? Or will it make readers feel even more cheated or doubt the rest of the story?

I believe that when it comes to fiction, as long as you know the grammar rules and are using proper grammar throughout, it's okay to break the proper grammar rules if it serves the story and plot or makes the scene easier to understand or helps the reader to connect with the character.

So, while what you want to do, may not be conventional wisdom for grammar in most situations, I feel that if it serves the story, than do it.

Proper grammar has it's place, and usually you want to use it. But one of the keys to know good grammar is also knowing when it's okay to break away from it for the sake of the story.

Not sure if this'll help or not, it would depend I suppose on how you handle the story as a whole, but, the series I wrote, the MC takes Opium and LDS and drinks Absinthe (often using all 3 at once), so frequently scenes occur where he is high, drunk, or both. The PoV of the series is USUALLY 3rd Person Limited from his perspective, though there are times when he passes out and, there is the need for a different character to narrate, at which point the story "zooms out" to 3rd person omniscient during just that scene while the MC is unconscious, and one or both of his 2 friends takes over as the narrator.

As all 3 of the drugs he uses cause hallucinations to some varying degree, often there is a "hallucination transition scene" just before he passes out and the other character takes over as narrator.

So, if I was to take your example:


>>>"There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc which might give away everything too early. Has this been done?


 ... and write it as a hallucination scene for him, I would do something like this:


.........

MC walked across the room. His steps were swift and determined. Or as swift and determined as he could make them be. He'd had a bit too much to drink and he knew, but he couldn't let his friends know. No. He wasn't supposed to be out drinking tonight. Not tonight. Tomorrow was a big day. Steady. He must walk steady. The determination in his steps,  became his primary focus. MC watched his feet to make sure they were going in the right places. Must walk steady. Mustn't let anyone know. Must... must... Thunder boomed outside. Lightening flashed. The momentary bright, blinding light, filled the room with it's purple haze before disappearing and sending the room back into the blackness of night. Wait.. who is that?

There was a man in the doorway.

How'd he get there?

Wasn't the door locked?

MC walked closer to the door.

Cautiously.

"Who are you?" MC called out.

No answer.

MC stumbled.

But quickly caught himself.

Can't fall.

Couldn't let this man know he was drunk either.

He squinted his eyes.

Straining to see through the darkness.

Hoping for the lightening to flash again.

There was a man in the doorway.

A man.

Where there shouldn't be one.

"Who are you?" MC called out again.

Nothing.

The man stood in the doorway.

Watching.

Staring.

Silent.

He didn't move.

He didn't speak.

Might be one of his friends.

They shouldn't be here.

But who knows?

Maybe...

No...

Couldn't be...

MC opened his eyes. Friend1 was standing over him. Friend2 was kneeling beside him. They were both talking but he couldn't hear them. MC's vision blurred and doubled, than went in and out of focus a few times. The muffled sounds of his friend's voices bounced around like a rubber ball inside his head. He tried to focus on one voice, one sound, straining to hear who was talking and what they said. Finally his vision became clearer and the sounds became less garbled.

"You okay?" Friend2 asked.

"Who was the man in the doorway?" MC asked, not answering Friend2's question.

"What man?"

"That man!" MC sat up and pointed towards the door. Wait. He wasn't there. The man was gone. MC looked around. The sun was up. It was daytime. Night was gone. It had slunk away to the shadows, to hide for another day. Fleeing from the sun's warm embrace. Waiting for sunset to come and free it back into the world again.

"There was a man there," MC said to no one in particular. "Where did he go? Did you see him?"

"No," Friend1 answered. "Only thing we seen was you passed out on the floor."

.....................


Each sentence is very short and is a new paragraph and it written in a sort of "poem-like" format, no longer bocks of text like a normal paragraph, and it's quasi-dialogue-ish, but it's not quite dialogue and not quite narration. By blending the narration and the dialogue together and physically changing what the words LOOK like (how they are formatted/typeset) on the print page, clues the reader into the fact that something has changed and the narrator is suddenly having trouble focusing and maybe, just maybe, whenever the text looks like this, we shouldn't trust the narrator to be telling us everything accurately while the text is not formatted in correct and proper grammar. 

Now the example I just wrote above, doesn't change PoVs and stays in 3rd person limited with the MC as the narrator, because we as readers never seen him passed out, the scene doesn't tell you he passed out, and transitions straight from him passing out, to him waking up all in one scene, allowing the hallucination of the man in the doorway, to not yet be known to the reader if the man was really there or now, but also doing it in a way to hint to the reader, the man might have just been a drunk vision. Later scenes might have him looking for the man, and evidence reveal that there never was a man and confirm to the reader, yeah it was just a hallucination.

Not sure if that helps you out or not, but, that's how I'd handle the situation you've described, if I was writing it in my own novel.

And now that I've written that example, I'm going to rewrite it, add character names, expand it, and see if I can't write a full chapter  based off of it. I love using stuff like this as writing prompts. I just wrote a scene 443 words long, based off using this:

>>>Is it okay for a third person omniscient narrator, when zooming into a character who is drunk/hallucinating, to report the imagined things he sees as though they were facts? Eg. "There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc 

... as a writing prompt. 

I wonder, can I get a 1,000 words out of it, and than keep going and turn it into a Quaraun story, perhaps even a full novel, based off of just that?

Who knows? We'll find out.


Also, not to join the argument going on there, but...  this commenter and their 18 comments...


>>>>>Third person is not the MC. It's the author.

>>>>>So if the author is an unreliable narrator, the book sucks.

>>>>>What you're talking about is not unreliable narrator.

>>>>>The thing is, by definition, YOU CANNOT WRITE UNRELIABLE 3RD PERSON NARRATIVE.

>>>>>Because 3rd person narrative IS THE AUTHOR.


I've read more than 10,000 novels in the past 50 years, and I've NEVER seen a 3rd person novel where the narrator was the author.

Why?

Because when the AUTHOR is the narrator it's a little thing called 4th person meta... it's VERY rare, Douglas Adams used it in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the book itself is the narrator, because the book is the author writing itself as it tells the story; outside of the satire genre you are almost never going to see the author be the narrator

3rd person limited narrator is ALWAYS the main character; that's why we know what it is the main character is thinking - isn't it?

3rd person omnipresent narrator is the main character and secondary characters who take over when the main character is not around; that's why we know what it is the main character and his/her friends are thinking - isn't it?

3rd person head hopping is when EVERY character is the narrator depending on which perspective is best for the scene in question; that's why we know what it is that every character is thinking - isn't it?

I wonder though, is a reader sees the narrator as the author and not as one of the character, the way the author intended, doesn't that mean the reader lacks reading comprehension skills and is missing out on vast elements of the story, simple because they think the author themselves is the character telling the narrative parts? They are not connecting with the character on a deep level, if they don't see the character as the narrator, right? I don't know. I've never thought of it before.

I don't know, but it seems to me that writing yourself, the author, as the character in the novel, narrating the story, is quite arrogant and, as a reader, I would think the author's ego too big for me t want to read the book, if the author stuffed themselves into the book as the narrator. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but, I've never like stories where the author writes a story about an author writing a story. I always see stories like that as the author giving themselves an ego trip and not really caring about either their readers or their characters.

In all the books I've ever read, I've never once thought it was the author LITERALLY as the character in the story telling the story. Is that weird? Do others see narrators as being the author themselves being a character in the book?

You know, I went to college for an degree in teaching English Literature and the textbook of grammar rules states:

3rd person limited narrator is ALWAYS the main character

3rd person omnipresent narrator is the main character and secondary characters who take over when the main character is not around

3rd person head hopping is when EVERY character is the narrator depending on which perspective is best for the scene in question

So... yeah.

On the other hand:

>>>>>Sticking oranges up your ass does not make you a citrus tree. - thealmightymalachi 

Sticking oranges up your ass does not make you a citrus tree.

Has to win hands down best quote of the year. 

Love it.

But getting side tracked by the commenter ...  back to the OP...

And if you want to see an excellent example of 3rd person omnipresent with an unreliable narrator done VERY WELL... read the Witcher novels: they have 2 narrators: Geralt who SHOWS the reader what is actually happening and Ciri who TELLS the reader what she wants the reader to THINK is happen. Every character appears twice. 

For example: Geralt meets Avallac'h and sits and talks WITH him, and Geralt SHOWS what Avallac'h does, we see Avallac'h talk, we hear Avallac'h's dialogue from his own mouth, we see him walk around the room AS he does it. A few chapters later Ciri takes over as narrator and TELLS us that she had met Avallac'h and doesn't let us see Avallac'h do anything, doesn't let us hear his actual dialogue, instead Ciri tells long texts of exposition of yesterday Avallac'h did this, last night Avallac'h said that, Ciri tells us AFTER THE FACT what she WANTS the reader to THINK happened. And than, still later, the narrator moves outside of Ciri's head, and is now Starry Eyes (a different character) talking, not Ciri or Geralt, and we SEE Ciri's actions, what ACTUALLY happened between Ciri and Avallac'h and WHY Ciri so desperately tried to hide the truth about her interactions with Avallac'h from the reader.

If you want to read it for yourself, it's Chapter 7 of the book Tower of Swallows and Chapter 5 of the book Lady of the Lake and the epilogue of Lady of the Lake. Read all 3 chapters side by side, to see all 3 narrations, and watch how vastly different Avallac'h is portrayed depending on if the narrator is Geralt, Ciri, or Starry Eyes. The following is a MAJOR SPOILER for how the Witcher novels end - reveal only if you don't mind knowing the end of the series: >!Ciri is revealed as a horrific liar, and you find out that 90% of EVERYTHING you were told across 8 novels never happened at all, because EVERYTHING narrated by Ciri was a complete and total lie, and ONLY the parts narrated by Geralt were true and actually happening. Turns out Ciri was on fistech (cocaine) the whole time, never had any magic powers, never was the chosen one, and imagined the whole thing in a drug induced hallucination.!< It is the absolute BEST WRITTEN unreliable narrator I have ever seen, because >!as shitty as the "it was all a dream" ending is, Andrzej Sapkowski pulled it off really well, because you do not see that coming at all, simply be

cause of how many lies Ciri told the reader while she was the narrator. However the "it was all a dream" ending was a huge letdown, ever though it was pulled off well, because I fell in love with so many characters in the Witcher novels and to find out none of them were even "real" in the Witcher world at all and they were all just drug induced figments of Ciri's imagination - Avallac'h, Eredin, King Auberon, The Wild Hunt - they weren't real. They were just a dream Ciri had, and I'm insanely in love with Avallac'h, so the "oh yeah, by the way, that was just a drug induced dream" reveal was big let down for me. That he did it well and I didn't see it coming, doesn't change the fact, I really really don't like the "it was all a dream" ending-trope, because I invested a lot of time to read those 8 novels and got emotionally attached to some of those characters and to get to the end and it be: "yeah it never happened" just makes it feel like I wasted my time.!< If you want to see the drug addicted unreliable narrator having lots of hallucinations, done well, read all the Ciri narrated sections of the Witcher novels.

Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories. 
First or third person?
And would you be able to tell me why? 

>>>Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories. 

>>>First or third person? And would you be able to tell me why? Thanks in advance!

If the main character is supposed to be me/the reader and is left nameless and genderless and devoid of any description, so that I can actually believe it's me, than I don't mind 1st person. If it MC is going to be me, than is MUST BE ACTUALLY ME. So soon as the 1st person character looks in the mirror and comments on her golden hair and blue eyes, I'm out of there, because it's no longer me, and once it's no longer me, I just can't get immersed in the 1st person PoV.

But for MOST stories, I'd rather have 3rd person, because I like to get to know the main character as though they were my best friend. I don't like it when the story is first person, but the character has a name/gender/race/description because then it's like the author is trying to force me to BECOME someone who I am not, and I'm fine with who I am, I don't want to become a different person.

So, if I find the book is in 1st person but the character has a name/age/race/gender/hair colour/eye color/etc, I'll just toss the book aside unread and go read something else. I know there are readers who WANT to become a different person and so like the 1st person named character style, but, I'm not the right reader for those.

I'm somebody who likes to feel like I'm having adventures WITH the main character not AS the main character. For me, 3rd person is the best way for me to get fully immersed in the story, because I get to hang out with the main character. So 3rd person is always my preference.

Of course, I like character driven stories, so as a general rule I EXTREMELY HATE 1st person, because it is nearly impossible to pull off a good character driven story with it. Once a while a writer can pull it off, but usually, it just feels like most writers use 1st person because they are too lazy to bother creating a fully fleshed out three dimensional character, and they just slap in a dull, drab, cookie cutter, give a few details, than rely on the reader to fill in the blacks themselves by pretending they are the main character.

It's not so much the 3rd person is better for a character driven story, because like I said, sometimes you'll find an author who gives good fleshed out 1st person characters, but rather it seems that, for some reason the bulk of authors just put more effort into fleshing out their characters when they write in 3rd person, and seem to be like when a lot of writers do 1st person they are thinking: "Hey, I'm writing 1st person, who gives a shit if I flesh out the character!" while it feels like 3rd person authors think: "This is 3rd person, the reader can't self insert themselves, I better flesh this character out to the max".

So in the end, it's not that I ACTUALLY dislike 1st person, but rather I dislike how the bulk of authors get sloppy/lazy with character creation when they write 1st person. 1st person can be done really well, I think it's great when it is, but, it's just so difficult to find the rare gems hidden in the massive dung heap piles of crap, that it sometimes feels pointless to even bother trying to look for well written 1st person.

The end result is, I'd rather be reading than shifting through crap looking for something to read, so I end up just avoiding most 1st person stories completely, unless my brother says "So, this one was done well, you should read it." He reads 2 or 3 novels a week and has for 30 years now, and I trust him to recommend a well written 1st person. But otherwise, I just stick to 3rd person stories.

Also, I don't mind seeing the story from multiple 3rd person PoVs. Because, it's like I'm with all my friends and get to see what all of them are thinking. So I tend to like 3rd person with 2 or 3 PoV characters best of all. But not 3rd omnipresent. Rather 3rd person limited, where it's usually 1 main character, but than once in a while also a secondary character's view point.

If you are trying to decide which one you should use in your own writing, my personal rule that I write by is this: write it the way YOU as a reader would enjoy reading it, that way you will find readers who like the same things you like; in order words don't write what you think readers will want, because there are readers for everything, so just write it the way you would want it to be if you were the reader.

So, me personally, because I prefer to read 3rd limited most of all, I write 3rd limited. But if you like reading 1st, than I think you should write 1st, or if you like reading 3rd omnipresent, than you should write 3rd omnipresent; or if you like to read 4th person meta (the author and not one of the characters is the narrator; like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where the book itself is the narrator and tells you the story as it writes itself) than you should write 4th person meta; or if you like to read 2nd person (the reader "You" is the main character, like Choose Your Own Adventure books) than you should write 2nd person.

My point is, I don't think that it should matter to the author, what OTHERS like to read. I believe it should matter to the author that they look at their own personal reading habits and strive to write the same style they personally enjoying reading.

So in the end, I think there is no true right or wrong answers as to which PoV is best to write in. I think there is something out there for everyone, and that we as writers should just write the thing/style/story/plot/genre/format/PoV/characters that we personally enjoy. So I think we should all just write the thing we like the most and not worry what others like or not.

i just found out there is yet another bizarre rumour going around. where are these wild rumours coming from? who is starting them? and why?

@eelkat

since I've been flooded with hundreds of messages the past two weeks asking if I still own "the world's most haunted car", yes, and here it is, filmed today May 18, 2026… but my son Xavier is dead, i am crippled and given that people are AGAIN showing up calling my Dodge "haunted", calling my friend "an alien", calling me "transgender", and spreading wild defamation slander connecting me to Stephen King, I think I need to start taking down the contact information of every blogger, podcaster, youtuber, and social media account spreading these rumors, and sue every single one of them for CAUSING my car to be cut in half May 10, 2010, for CAUSING the backhoe that drove over my house August 8, 2013, for CAUSING my son's murder November 14, 2013, for CAUSING me to be crippled and in a wheelchair November 14, 2013, and for CONTINUING to CAUSE harassers to show up in person to harass me near daily, STILL now in 2026. EVERYONE telling you my car is haunted, telling you my friend is an alien, calling my car "the goldeneagle", calling my friend "Etiole", or trying to connect me or my car to Stephen King, is lying to you. They crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, and a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet identified the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club and the FBI believes that it is friends and family of the woman who did it, are the ones who started and spread the rumors saying my car is haunted, saying I'm an alien abductee, saying all kinds of similar bs about aliens, ufos, ghosts, witchcraft, demons, and Stephen King connections, even though I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, ufos, demons, and had never heard of Stephen King before 30k of his fans showed up in my yard trying to find my car! FBI believes the backhoe driver and the murderer are the same person and it is a developer who wanted my land and so started the Stephen King, ghost, and alien rumors all in an attempt to drive me off my land, and when it didn't work they drove a backhoe over my house, and when that didn't work they crippled me and killed my son. Why are they doing this? How do I get them to stop?

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....

... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.

While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

eelkats_house_before_after.jpgMy house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son and crippled me, arrived the first time with a backhoe that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground

On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.

She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.

The attack also triggered labour.

My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.

Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.

The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.

The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.

Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.

Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.

Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.

Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

The golfclub woman as she looked during the golf club attack at Southern Maine community college November 14, 2013. She is about 20 to 30 years older then me and would be around 75 to 85 years old now in 2026.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.

Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.

Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.

Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.

In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.

Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.

But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.

I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.

Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.

Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.

I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.

My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.

Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.

Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
