I have had some very interesting and unusual things happen to me in my life so far, and so have the people who are in my life. I really want to write a book based on my life in the last year and a half but don't know how to do it at all. How much artistic license can I use?. Third person or first person? How do I get over the hump when you first want to write? Do I do my life events in chronological order or mix them up or have "flashbacks". I really want it to be a fiction book, kind of showing how difficult it can be growing up in this day and age, teaching a serious lesson, though I am not too sure what is is yet. Help?
