: Re: How can I convey that my viewpoint character is lying? When writing in the first person, what is a good way to convey that the viewpoint character is lying, without saying so explicitly?

By asking this question I think that you are underestimating your reader. You are clearly making your character a liar and anyone paying attention would note it. The only possible issue you may have, in trying to maintain that throughout the story, is if you gave the reader a reason to believe that the narrator was justified in lying in this case and that he may not lie should the situation not warrant it.
