I decided to switch my short story from first-person narrative to third-person. Why? Because writing in third-person is easier and takes less time. Besides, I already wrote 500 pages in first-person from the point of view of different characters, and let me tell you, it's nice to get a break from having to 'be' the character in question when it's Lysander I'm writing about.
I'm liking where the story is going so far – now I just have to make sure to stay within the 28 page limit.
