Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember, or another first. write two paragraphs that describe this important event, paying particular attention to details and sequencing. remember that details refer to the facts of observations an author includes or omits. think of details as specifics. for example, if the author said she drove a mustang, you wouldn't know much. however, if she said she drove a 1965 candy apple red mustang convertible with baby soft white seats and polished chrome instruments, you would have a much better idea. use proper spelling and grammar.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
