"Why" write the story of your life? During your lifetime, you were striving to make a differenece. In return you wanted your life to matter. Writing the story of your life is your opportunity to matter. Your story is a wonderful gift for your family and friends.
As you write your memoir, the path that you took over your lifetime will unfold. You will learn more about yourself-your beliefs, values and the meaning of your life. You have a wondreful opportunity to tell about the memories and experiences that shaped your life.
Initially, just start writing as you want to get as much on paper as possible. Details are important but do not go overboard. You will know that you are on the right track when your words have special energy and touch you deeply. You will have flashbacks and rushes or emotion.
You should strive to write a little everyday. Some days, you will fill pages and pages while other days you may only write a page. This is all part of the process that it takes to writing your memoir. Do not get discouraged as there is no time clock on this project. Just work at your own pace day after day.
