Writing Journal #4

I learned that it is very difficult to write a piece in first person that does not come from personal experience. And it is very difficult to make a personal experience fit into the classic story outline, because in real life things do not happen in neat sets of three, with each experience increasing in urgency. So writing a story in such a format is quite unrealistic and is therefore difficult in the first person, which begs a realistic setting and approach to make it believable.
