Character bias
logarithm.and.blues:
My English teacher (who I've been asking for advice) says that my writing so far has a bias towards other characters. Is that even possible to avoid, though, with a first person narrator?

No. There is no such thing as a narrator without some biases, because humans have them.

Personally I think a narrator without bias is kinda boring.

Can you explain having a bias "toward" other characters? Does that mean that your narrator favors the supporting cast when he shouldn't? I'm confuzzled. ???
logarithm.and.blues:
I have no idea, honestly. She said that the way I wrote the dialogue made it seem like I, as the author, favored certain characters.
