Just finished "The Red Tree" and thus discovered your livejournal.
Your question about time is an interesting one - when it takes you so long to write a novel, how do you account for the difference between the time the interauthor takes to write it and how long it takes you to write it? I mean, in the narrative. Obviously it would be ridiculous to expect that the novel should only take the time of the narrative space to write.
I tend to shy away from first person because it does pose some weird problems. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading a really good first person account - especially when the text is treated as an artifact.
