I know, the title may sound stupid but I hope you'll understand what I mean anyway.
Do you think a story told in first person needs some sort of "excuse" why it's told in first person. By excuse I mean something like the story being the character's diary, the character telling the story to someone else, letters to someone or anything along those lines? Does it have to be written in a way that would be sensible for someone to use talking about their own life? Or wouldn't you mind someone simply telling the readers what's happening to him or her?
