Who are you? What kind of novel are you in? What is the conflict? If you were reading this story, watching an omniscient (really) narrator describe you, your innermost thoughts, your insecurities, and all your desires, would you have any trouble at all giving your character counsel? Would it be oh-so-difficult to tell when that character was motivated from selfishness or pride? Would you love to see that story written? Would you like to see yourself as you are, as you really are, with not one of your thoughts or impulses omitted?
