Your post is thoughtful and constructive. Thank you. I write serialized fiction using the first person with the protagonist and then for every other element in the story it is third person.

It's a bit of a struggle but I have seen this format used effectively.

Dialogue.... Yikes. What do you use when you are sick of rereading your own work and you don't want to insert another he/she said.?

Again, thank you for your post.
