I think the best advice I saw in this lab would be to just write what you want to write. It is your story, so what ever you write reflects who you are as a person, and your style as well. It was also really interesting to see that they said there are no rules at all.

The last thing I found to be interesting was when they talked about how writing is like being in love.

Many many years ago, a very shy, but curious guy named Steve was going on with his day like normal. He would wake up, go straight to the gym, hang out with his friends, and then go to bed. It was rinse and repeat for him since it was summer, and was his only free time he could get to train to be on the football team. He was small for his age, but that never stopped him from going after what he wanted. He wasn't the most popular guy at the school in Colorado, but was someone everyone enjoyed hanging out with. After many continuous days of him working out over summer, he got a call from an unknown number. He was hesitant to answer the call because he was so shy, but thought it was an opportunity where he could finally face his fear. He finally got the courage to answer, but it was a suspicious call from the guy on the other line. He said, "I know you are training for the football team, and was wondering if you wanted to come check out the facility and maybe train there some day?...
