And my point (of view) is....

Started reading Rob Thurman's Nightlife this morning, a new urban fantasy from a first time author. Pondering deep thoughts as only the insufficiently caffeinated can, it occurred to me that I've been on a recent trend of reading books written in the first person. It's not that I specifically sought them out for their POV, just one of those things.

I haven't written in first person since I was a teenager scribbling away in a notebook. But now having read several of these, I'm getting the itch that says "Hmm, I wonder what it would be like to write one of these critters?"

Any thoughts from people who have done this?

Someday there will be life after the lizard trilogy is turned in, and it's never too soon to think about what I'll be doing next.

ETA: truepenny has some interesting thoughts on first person narrators here.
