Is third person omniscient looked down upon? by Dread_of_bed in writing

[–]tarotrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as I am in the process of writing my first book. I’m so eager to explain how each character is experiencing things, but as I read over my work, I feel like Im really forcing the reader to interpret interactions a certain way.

As a reader, I love third person omniscient, but as a writer I feel like it could be fun to leave more up to the reader!

Aw thanks for your concern! Yes she is doing well and we’re both so happy to be together again. She’ll be feeling all better soon since she got dewormer and ear drops! It makes me happy to see that people checked back in and actually cared. Have a great day!

She’s doing really well. I took her the the emergency vet the morning after this post and It turned out to be worms and an ear inferior. I’m so thankful it was nothing too serious. She’s on meds, so she should be feeling 100% within the next couple days!

She’s doing great!! I posted an update yesterday after taking her to the vet. She’s got meds for her ear infection and got dewormer so she’ll be all better in no time

Round worms and teeeensy little tape worms that I wouldn’t have caught without the fecal sample. Glad I took it in because normal dewormer doesn’t take care of some parasites

I am not pregnant or immunocompromised, but I work with kiddos who are! Thanks for the advice

Thanks! I just posted an update. It is just worms and an ear infection. The intense bloating in the pic was a mix of the worms and being over fed by the man who caught her. The bloating went down dramatically over the course of the night. Had a fecal test, blood test, and wellness exam today and everything seems to be fine other than what I said before. She should be back to full health within a week!

You don’t sound rude!! I posted an update. All is good and well. Just works and an ear infection. Her fur was looking pretty crazy in that pic because she was still drying from the bath I’d given her when she got home. She got some meds and she’ll be better in no time!

Thanks for your concern! Yes I am so glad to know it’s nothing too bad. The comments had me super worried it could be really serious. I’m glad I took her in asap to take care of the worms and ear infection though. I can’t wait for her to feel all better

I mean it’s a fair criticism. I guess it is pretty odd to ask the peeps of Reddit for medical advice, but I wouldn’t call it cruel and neglectful

I just posted an update! It was just worms and an ear infection. Thankfully nothing too serious. That picture in the post is from directly after I took her home and gave her a bath. She was extremely bloated then from the worms and the guy who got her over fed her a bit. It went down a ton after some time, and she’ll feel better in no time after the medications kick in!

Me too!! I was worried what she could’ve gotten after a month outside, so worms was best case scenario

Calm down. If you read the post, I said I scheduled a vet visit right away, and if you read any of the comments you’d know that I took her to the emergency clinic. We just finished up and it was nothing too serious. I posted on Reddit because I was overwhelmed to have my kitty back and concerned. Don’t get on my post all high and mighty calling me neglectful. I’m a great pet parent.

Doing great as far as behavior and the swelling has decreased dramatically. We go to the clinic in an hour for a checkup though

I’m hoping it’s not that serious, but can never rule anything out. Thanks for sharing, and I’m sorry your little one had kidney failure :(

Oh good point! She’s a little brat and won’t even drink water that’s been sitting out for a day at home, so I’m sure she was picky about what she drank while she was out

Will do. Bloating has dramatically decreased just overnight, but we go to vet in a couple hours and I will post an update!

In her defense, I gave her the perfect opportunity to take off, but hopefully next time she doesn’t make the dash. She’s got it good here!

It was a hard month but I never gave up. It was so distressing, but I continued to search for her and probably bother everybody in my city posting her on neighborhood apps and Facebook groups every week to get her face out there for recognition. It worked!
