Creative writing

1st person
There are several forms of first person pronouns. Examples of first person inclusive plural pronouns include 'we' & 'us'. Then there are just first person singluar pronouns such as 'I' & 'me'.

An example of 1st person writing would be: Today, I found myself there again. Another deep reverie that played over why I wasn't good enough for her. For one, it's bad enough for other people to be telling me that she was out of my league, but for my own thoughts to tell me the same - what's that all about? Trying to bring myself back to why I had her in the first place was hard enough, since all I seemed to do these days was the wrong, and I was - at this point - unable to right wrongs.

2nd person
For second person, there is no standard English word that is second person plural, and so there are only singulars - 'you' & 'your'.

An example of 1st person writing would be: Hello to you on this fine day, Sir. You must have been parched after several rounds of the most exquisite sport in the world: cricket; and your team must especially be sulking over their loss. Anyway, my associates and I were pondering one whether or not you and your team might like to join us for another round next Saturday? Yours faithfully, Marcus.

3rd person
With second person, there are plurals such as 'they' & 'them'. For singular third person, we would use 'he/she'.

An example of 3rd person writing would be: Twigs clapped as their feet slowly crushed the leaves that lay peacefully below. James and his dog were new to country life, of course they were; they'd just been relocated. 'Thanks, Dad,' James thought to himself as he struggled to see in front, but the mist was thicker than a whale's belly fat, and he could hardly see his own hair.
