Writing a book, but for a short story got told off for my use of direct speech, what is direct speech and can someone give me advice on using it.
Also, my book will have 3-4 main characters (Is 4 too much?) who all go to the same school, but I'm not sure whether 1st or 3rd person. I mean, 1st, my characters can talk their thoughts and such, and it's more personally, 3rd person it's easier to follow them all and more realistic, I've written the first bit in 1st person.
