Writing, like speaking, uses pronouns, verbs, and a bunch of other stuff. Do you write in first person, third or what? For example:
I strip.
You strip.
He strips.
Sounds racy, but is it? Add a direct object.
I strip old paint.
You strip your gloves off.
He strips at Chippendales.
What point of view would you use for short stories, poems, or a Zine article? (Z.I.N.E., pronounced Zeen). Join us to discuss all this stuff and more!
