WHAT’S YOUR STORY ?

How many of you have ever wanted or wished you could write your memoirs 

I always wanted to. But didn’t have a clue as to how to start. 

I finally took a class many years ago. Which resulted in more writing classes and tons of stories. 

I’m going to give you some tips on how to get started. 

1. Do a time line on paper. 1-10 
2. Write about the first house you lived in. 
3. Look around your home and find a treasured object. 

Something with sentimental value. 

1. Write about an unforgettable experience.  It could be an incredible vacation, or it could be your most embarrassing moment . 
2. You could write about a moment in school. 
3. Write about the moment  in others words what happening now. 

DO NOT CONFUSE MEMOIR WITH AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 

MEMOIRS EXIST TO EXPRESS A MOMENT IN TIME . 

A MEMOIR IS HOW YOU REMEMBER YOUR LIFE. 

WRITE IT IN YOUR OWN VOICE. 

How many of you have grandchildren ?

I was digging through some of the many stories that I’ve written and I came across a piece I had totally forgotten about.  And it’s a fun Memory for me. .  It was so much fun to read and relive the time .

In closing-   

EVERY LIFE HAS A STORY.      EVERY LIFE IS IMPORTANT 

EVERY MOMENT. EVERY SECOND  WE HAVE SOMETHING TO 

SAY .   GOD MADE US ALL UNIQUE AND YOUR LIFE IS A STORY WORTH TELLING.
