Help with writing a story?

I don't have much detail yet, but the story will be about a girl who suffers from amnesia.



Should I

a) write from the perspective of the girl with amnesia; or

b) write from the perspective of someone she knows?



Sorry, the information is quite vague, but I don't have many ideas yet, since I'm only just starting. :)Help with writing a story?
My current story is written from the perspective of a girl with amnesia, with small - and I mean SMALL - excerpts from one other character's point of view.



If it helps, try listing the pros and cons of each.

So, if it's from the perspective of the girl:



Pros:

- offers mystery

- can make it easier to empathise with her (who knows, perhaps if it wasn't from her point of view then she could become frustrating to the main character)

-



Cons:

- might need a little research to get this right, assuming you haven't suffered from amnesia yourself

- might overcomplicate the plot (just because amnesia is such a big thing to throw into a story)

- means you have to consider things more carefully, such as:

- well she recover her memories? (and btw, does she have more trouble gaining new memories now, or is that not an issue?)



Anyway, that's just a start. Hope it helps :)

You could switch it off chapter to chapter but if you didn't want to do that i would say do the girl with amnesia.
