Hello, I just recently had my Viva voce. I was very excited about doing my series of short stories, but some feedback I got from the viva voce read " Once suggestion that came from the panel was that you have one story. They just though it would flow better as you have a twist at the end of a story, it would be more effective. It you do one story, think about the idea of a split narrative, one in first person, and one In third person"
Do you agree that It is more effective to do 1 narritvie when dealing with an allegory?
It really depends. My personal preference is to suggest one story with dual narrators because I'm just thinking from my own point of view with writing it that I think it would be easier to bring together cohesion. But this is just me thinking logistically about my own faults and strengths as a writer, which I suggest you do too.
I think you mightn't even know until you start writing. Before you get to 1000 words I'm sure you'll get a better idea of what flows, and some other unforeseen difficulties might even impact the way you decide how to go about this. Getting to 1000 words and changing your approach isn't wasted words or time, either. You can use a lot of those sentences, ideas, or phrasings in your second draft.
How are you feeling about it?
