Narratives?

I hate narratives. I think they are one of the hardest ways to write. I can't bring myself to write like I'm in someone elses mind. I try to be creative but I always end up putting something down that I have already heard before and I feel like that is plagierizing. One of the things that I think is very helpful in this chapter is describing the setting. I never thought of to just look and see and smell the things around. I also liked how they explained to choose the topic. It would be so easy to just think of something taht happened to me but just ellaborate on it a bit. The biggest problem for me in narratives is the quotations in the story. I never know where to put them and the longer the story it gets, the hardest it is to place the quotations.
