It really sucks going on a site like tumblr and getting these First Person POV hate posts.

I think this all stems from the fact that many people might not know how to use First Person POV properly.

This post will try to explain the basics of this POV. I have been told by people that normally don't like First Person POV that they like my writing. So I think that gives me enough credentials to write a post about this POV.
