For many writers, first-person narration comes naturally.  And for memoir writers, it's the only choice.

First-person has some advantages over third person.

But it comes with unique challenges.

In this episode, we'll cover the pros of first-person, 5 common challenges, and how  to overcome them. So you can capture the full range available to you with first-person.

We'll cover how to:

• Create a strong, distinct character voice that sustains your story;
• Avoid the overuse of I; I  saw, I heard, I smelled, I tasted,  etc.
• Go beyond the limitations of your first-person perspective; 
• Describe your first-person's appearance or home without being awkward, and;
• Get out of  your character's head and into the world of the real.
