Thank you very much. It's an odd thing because I do strongly believe in the book in the sense that I personally like its contents. At the same time I'm worried in the sense that it's possible no one else will like the contents and then I'll have to face the idea that what I'm going to keep doing won't have an audience. So, huh. Then I'll be stuck, won't I?<br /><br />Should I be surprised that The English Teacher finds second person POV interesting? :P More often than not I hear people say they don't like second person POV, so I'm glad you're into it!Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-17670649652310993582011-06-01T21:22:53.215-07:002011-06-01T21:22:53.215-07:00A second person POV?
