   I'm dropping back in after a hiatus of nearly ten years...I stopped posting   
   because I'd just run out of things to say.  I never did learn how to write,   
   either.   
      
   I took up one of my old story beginnings last week and started working on it   
   again, and I got bogged down about two pages in.  This time, I identified a   
   problem in my style that I never noticed before, and right now I'm thinking   
   about how to overcome it.   
      
   The problem is that everything I write is from exactly the same point of view   
   and when the story requires a change, I can't do it.  I've been looking over   
   whatever fiction books happened to be sitting around and studying, much more   
   carefully than ever    
   before, how different point of view effects are achieved.
