AW is the nearest I've come to being in a writing class in my 76 years and in my brief time as a member, I've learned mucho gud stuff.
Kin folks think of me as a story teller and urged me to, "put it in writing."
I, laboriously, typed my memoirs in first person, read the stuff and wasn't happy.
Some here confirmed my suspicions and suggested I use a different POV.
I switched POV and even decided to make the short stories (which can be arranged chronologically but are written as I recall them) fiction based on fact.
I'm having a blast with the results, but because I lack many technical tools of writers -- such as I wonder if I should throw a comma in here? Aw Hell, Why not? I got plenty of them.
I get frequently bogged down looking for grammar and punctuation answers instead of working on the stories.
Right now, I'm wondering how the knowledgeable would handle: me writing a story my grandmother is telling me about story of an event she and my grandfather experienced -- but I'm writing the story in third person?
I've discovered, sometimes when I write out a question, the answer magically appears in my head --
or sometimes, the answers appears on my computer screen.
