Okay, one more question yall. I think I'm leaning towards #2. If I were to go with 2, do you think it'd work better written in first person or third person?
I was thinking first person since it's kind of an internal battle where the main character shapes the story - but, on the other hand, third person kind of gives more breathing room. It allows the reader to form impressions rather than be told what to feel about the character.
Any opinions?
