Well, the only thing that was really challenging to me was the "Boundaries" had to be twenty-five pages for an assugnment. lol So there was a bit of stretching involved... I don't know if you've read it, but I guess it's mainly about the "boundaries" between my actual best friend and I--though I changed all the names in the story. And I guess when it's something not really concrete, it's hard. I can only base it off of my feelings, so I think that's what makes it difficult. lol Whereas, when you're going for fiction, you can take any person's feelings and make them up....

A-RokzStalker:
No, I haven't read it, but I can see what you mean. That does sound like it would be kind of difficult. A good challenge though! :D Ignore me.

nicksgal:
I figured not. lol :P

I think the other thing about writing about your own life is you're leaving yourself ope to any sort of feelings or criticism... It can be hard... And you may not always know the right way to tell the story... If you can do it justice. I think that's the problem with writing about your own life--what's important to you, may only be important to you...

I don't know what I really wanted to say anymore. lol

A-RokzStalker:
:D Memory problems? I have those, lol.

I don't know... Personally, I'm writing this story for ME. Not for anyone else. I mean, I don't even know if I'll bother showing anyone or not. If I do, then I do. I don't really care what other people think. I'm just writing what happened, and I can't help it if someone doesn't like it. It's real, it happened, I can't change it, and that's life. :D

Though I suppose it could be embarrassing if somebody just plain thought it was stupid... *shrugs* Beats me if I know.

nicksgal:
No, I'm sick. :(

Writing for yourself is important though. :) And... yup, still can't remember.

Cherrios.
