Notes on point-of-view and tense.
1st Person:
Future (tense): "I will..." With luck, it sounds a little hopeful, or perhaps arrogant or supremely confident. Without luck, it sounds like a shopping list.
Present: A little mysterious, as we have no hint of the future, and have a very limited viewpoint.
Past: You always have to be careful with these ones, as this is the tense-POV mix most often used by Unreliable Narrators.
2nd Person:
Future: Either commanding or prophetic. Usually seems prophetic, if used extensively.
Present: This one can go two ways. In text-based games, it sounds like an omniscient fellow is talking to you. Unfortunately, in normal prose it often sounds like your life as related to a creepy stalker.
Past: The trouble with 2nd person is that it tends not to immerse you into the story as much as the other tenses, probably because theyapos;re normally trying to tell you youapos;re something and somewhere youapos;re not. The narrator in this case tends to seem like a mentor, as most people who talk like this in real life are your parents, retelling stories from your childhood.
3rd Person:
Future: Prophetic.
Present: Much like 3rd past, but with an uncertain future.
Past: No matter how restricted this is used, it tends to feel the most expansive.
