Writing Tips and Advice

Sentence Starters

Not every sentence has to start with I.

Example:

I woke up and grabbed a pair of jeans to change into. I changed into them quickly and walked into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and my hair. I then walked downstairs and grabbed my bag. I headed out the door and walked to school. I saw my friend on the way and she walked with me. I entered the school with her and Tim met up with us. I walked to class with them.

As I headed out the door and walked to school, I saw my friend and she walked with me. When I entered the school with her, Tim met up with us and we walked to class together.

If you are writing in third person, same thing, it doesn't always have to start with he or she, switch it up.
