Guys it was mentioned above that it's ok to change gender i.e he to she or vice versa, I was just wondering if you could change first person to third person?? :S

If we are using the same logic, I would argue yes! But again I have no official confirmation of this! :)

Let's hope so, since first person is so much harder to get your expression across fluently. At least for me :p

it think it would be a good idea to maybe the stimulas a technique
like use it as a metaphor, or even a motif

Hey,

There is a moment in my creative writing story when the protagonist reflects on his past experience of being a soldier. So do I need to provide context there as to why he was fighting, what time period that was in, etc? If so, I really don't know how to incorporate that... Advice would be appreciated!

Thank you :)

Definitely not! In fact, you could use the ambiguity to your advantage; "a long forgotten war, against a faceless enemy" etc. if the actual war doesn't matter. Only include information that matters, and if the time period doesn't progress the protagonist's story in any way, leave it out :)
