Conclusion
The most important factor to consider in a personal narrative is yourself. Choose an idea for a personal narrative that intrigues you. If your personal narrative bores you, it’ll bore readers. You want to write a descriptive personal story with vivid characters, action, and emotions.
Also, select a story you want to share with others. You’re revealing not just what happened to you, but also a piece of yourself. Is your personal story something you want people to know?
It’s your story. You decide what to write and who reads it. Then write it well.
