By using third person, increasing the number of characters, and giving them names, the possibilities for my novels expanded. In other words, I could include all types and shades of people with all sorts of opinions and worldviews, and depict the diverse intertwining among them. And what’s most wonderful of all is that I can become almost anyone I want. Even when I was writing in first person, I had that feeling, but with third person the choices are far greater.
