Prose: non-fiction, Self-help & personal development
Writing your life story can help you to capture the essence of your life, which you can share with family and friends - but the simple act of writing it can be an extraordinary journey in its own right.
Your life is a unique story, with meaning and value. It is made up of all the experiences you have lived through - happy and sad, changing times in the world around you, and precious moments with loved ones. YOUR LIFE, YOUR STORY shows you how to:
* Unlock and express your memories
* Explore and describe your life-changing experiences
* Develop a structure and a chronology for your story
* Bring truth and authenticity to your narrative
You might write your life story to gain perspective at a time of crisis, such as illness or bereavement, or in later life when you have time to spare. At any age, composing your life story can give you fresh insight into your relationships, family history, and your own life path to bring you confidence and fulfilment.
