What point of view do you like to use? Are there particular characters whose point of view is easier (or harder) for you to write? Do you often find yourself realizing that you need a different point of view?

I tend to write third person limited, but I've made a couple of forays into first person. I'm scared to try second person. I've seen it used effectively, but it's very difficult to pull off.

There are definitely characters I find easier to write than others. I often don't know whether or not I can write a character until I try, though, so I can't predict who's going to be difficult. I do find myself starting scenes over several times in some cases as I struggle to find the right person from whose point of view to write.
