Cole (2009) talks about the wide range of research that is now under the umbrella term Narrative. There is the story or the structure of the experience. In Narrative it is how the 'voice' of the subject is rendered for the reader. This, however, does not make the process neutral. The retelling of the story involves the researcher in a position, which should be acknowledged. Cole cited Hatch and Wisniewski (1995:123) which argues that narrative may be both a problem and a solution in the sense that a post-structural approach complicates life history for it renders interpretations less 'authoritative' and such lives are therefore opens to multiple interpretations (p12). Cole seeks to discuss and address the critics of narrative who ask what is good narrative and what is good research. She stresses the critical questions needed when evaluating narrative research. As Cole says:
The importance of theorizing narrative in the light of critical questions such as these is evident.​
When using narrative to reflect on the part practice creative process I am aware that how the 'voice' is rendered will be important. I am very aware that this role of creator and narrator can be a very difficult position to situate yourself as the research.
