I was afraid of this...

So I'm editing my novel (finally, right?) and I'm realizing that, for the first part of it, one of my main characters comes off like a creepy stalker. He's the villain, yeah, but not that kind.

Note to self--fix it.

ETA: Also, why my creative writing teacher didn't sit me down and give me a calm talk about how 3rd person limited is not and will never be 3rd person omniscient, even if I switch around whose is the 3rd person limited voice (with a complete lack of transition, I might add), I don't know. But it just comes off sloppy and jerky (speaking of, I really want beef jerky).

Guess this is all part of the editing process, though, eh? And maybe/hopefully a sign I've improved in a year? :P

:D I think recognizing the weaknesses in your own writing is definitely an important sign of/step towards improving it.

By the way, the fact that your comment box shows you typing the same font that your whole LJ is in makes it strangely mesmerizing.

*tries to stop*

...But look at the pretty letters. o.o

I hope so. :)

*The letters take over your soul*

...Oops, sorry about that, they have a tendency to get carried away from time to time. *Scolds the font* But, um, here's a consolation prize for your soul. *Offers a candy cane*
