how do you avoid the I I I I I I problem?

If you tell a story about something that happened to you, how do you avoid saying I did, I heard, I said? Don't use the constructions until you need them, as in The bell ran loudly, versus "I heard a loud bell.*. Attribution is necessary, but the narrator can simply declare events or talk about what others do without specificity relating it back to themselves. Take a look at the sample stories pinned to my profile.

Btw: I've written this as first person narrative. Where's the I? Is it repetitive?
