I Am Who I Am

I've always preferred to write in first person point of view. I don't have anything against third person writing, I just tend to avoid it when I create a piece. Though I do it subconsciously, I feel that I do this because I enjoy engrossing myself in the story and the plot as if I were the first person character. I seem to be able to put more emotion into a work if can write it in the perspective of one of the characters.

There is also this kind of connection I feel with characters I make through first person writing. It sounds silly, but first point of view makes my writing feel more personal, and I always hope that anyone who reads it feels that personal connection as well.
