I recommend against writing from a first person view with
strongly accented narrative. I wrote the piece for Scirririn several years ago
with a first person view, and with a narrative that would have felt right at
home a backwoods person that was raised by cross-eyed raccoons. The problem was
that somebody reading it for the first time was unable to relate to that style
of writing. Even though at the time that I wrote it, my mind could follow the
style, and understand her completely. Years later I go back to it and wonder
whatever possessed me to try it with that style. It is a tedious process to
pull enough of that garbage out while retaining the important aspects of the
story, and have it come out as a readable story.
