Position:Home>Books & Authors> Could you give me some help with writing?

First person or third person!?

First person:

I sat upon the damp ground, staring between the two large Oak trees!. The wind was unnaturally loud, making it rather hard to hear what they were saying!. Reading lips was becoming increasingly difficult too, as dusk entered night!.!.!. I could only just make out the shiny gun in the largest mans hand!. He was laughing!. The smaller man, whom was wearing a black hood, kept looking over his shoulder in my direction; as if he knew I was watching them!. The leader of the trio is holding a small black box, which he was opening while grinning!. His platinum hair made him easy to spot, but not nearly as easy as it was to spot what was in the box!.!.!.

Third person:

The black horse galloped wildly through the fields, one which Allen would never set foot upon!. The local ranch was just visible through his grimey window, though he was rather used to looking through the built-up dirt!. He sighed and looked away from the black horse, and stared down at his large textbook!. He had done this page before, it's not like the answers have changed!. Unfortunately, for young Allen!.!.!.

Blah blah, good luck!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

A great website that I have seen for writers recently has a section of story starters that you could choose from:

They have prompts that can help anyone come up with a story!. If you have the time you could also look at some generators if you are truly stumped:
