I'm wondering when other writers know when to use first person and when to use third person when writing their stories. I started off writing in first person because it was easier. Then, for some unknown reason, I began writing in third person, and found I liked it. Now it is what I use.
I've received some excellent feedback from people, and one of the comments I get on occasion is: "This story might have been better told in first person." While I can agree with them, I also think it works in third person. But I want to be flexible and, as everyone else, always looking to improve.
So, when do you know when to use first person or when to use third person? Is it something you just "feel"? Is it a type of story? (Non-consent vs Erotic Couples, for example) Or do you always stick to one POV?
