Welp, I'm severally behind, never done this before, but I'm curious. I'm currently 1,955 words into the story, and trying to catch up. I don't think I'll make it, but I'm gonna try!

Is it a problem that every paragraph I have so far starts with "I"?

This is a First Person P.o.V., so I know "I" will be used often, but I feel as if I'm overusing it and it's scaring me.

I'm also severly behind. But it's not impossible. We can do this!
Also, it's not so bad to start every paragraph with "I" in the first draft. That's what editing is for!!
Not me telling you this when I'm aggressively editing everything I write immediately after. Hahahaha

Awwww... just remember! The first draft only has to exist. It doesn't have to be perfect!

Nah, don't worry! Four pages is probably fine. :)
