Title: Story Question Post by: Frog_Man on March 26, 2007, 01:57:39 pm I was wondering if a story can start out like someone in a bad situation, and say 'lemme show you how I got here.'
Like this: 'She was baing chased.... blah blah.... he was catching up with her.... You are probably wondering how she came to this, huh? Let's go into her past, and see.....' Is that okay?

Don't fluctuate between first person and third person throughout the course of your story. If one of your characters is the narrater, make sure you stay in character the whole way through.
