This an except from the প্রবন্ধ How to Get Out of Your Own Way When Writing. This is উপদেশ from an accomplished লেখক named Elizabeth Knox
"I prefer reading, and writing, in the third person – “he walked along the shore,” rather than the first person, “I walked along the shore.” Many novice writers start লেখা in the first person. There are some very good reasons for that. For a start, we’re all used to telling stories with ourselves at their centers. Also, using a first-person voice can be a kind of playacting. They narrator is a “not-you” you’re pretending to be.
Why I like the third person is because it’s very flexible, particularly in the way it’s able to handle time in a story. But the handling of time in the third person is a subject for a longer blog post.
Something the third person does that আপনি are going to want to do is to make it far easier to প্রদর্শনী your character from the outside. I get very impatient with first-person বই that want to describe their characters দ্বারা having them look at themselves in mirrors! Or, worse, there’s the বিবরণ দ্বারা humble-brag. For example:
I hate the way my hair never stays confined to its clips, but bursts out, a মেঘ of shameful, brilliant red, so unlike the hair of every other girl in my school.
Yuck.
Or:
I crossed the room to the window, my পোশাক rippling against all the curves of my body.
Hmmmm. If she’s alone in the room then she’s being very lascivious about herself.
If আপনি change the সেকেন্ড example to the third person you’re still going to have to add someone else in the room for the passage to make any sense. And whoever that someone is, they become the story.
She slipped from between her warm sheets and went to the window. The cool breeze pushed her পোশাক against her body, and the bedchamber guard, who had been at his post all night, moved his eyes to watch her, although for him to pay any attention to anything apart from black-clad assassins and choking fits was strictly disallowed, and punishable দ্বারা death.
See – story.
The third person simply gives the story আরো places to go."

When I see you,I don't know what to say
I think of you,just about everyday
When your around hysterical,it's unpredictable...with me,I try to be serious,buts it's no use...
(Chorus) When I look at you,I turn away,When I hear your name,I try a different way, (fast) Your smile is alluring,and your eyes always occuring on my mind, If I explain I'll go insane,so I'll keep my mind blank,The দেবদূত are jealous about আপনি from up above,and though আপনি dont know it;you always give me La-la love,yeah,La-la love
When I sing,to me,you play the music,Im intrigued-sing with me,oh oh
When I dance আপনি আপনি dance too,In everything I do,To me,Your here,so what Im having fantasies,who cares?
(Chorus)
My হৃদয় is pounding,No sound surrounds me,exept your velvety voice...I'll say it once again,Your the সঙ্গীত in my head,I can't build up to it any other way,Ive already done as much as I may...
(Chorus) LA,la,la,la,la আপনি give me...love
