The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step…
That wisdom holds true for writing your autobiography, too! When you set out to write your personal memoir, you may feel daunted by what seems like an enormous undertaking: So many stories to write! Where to start? How will you ever make time to get it all down on paper?
Well, the fact is, you can start with just a note or two. You might have had a memory floating around in your mind for days. Maybe it’s really just an image of someone from your past. You could start by jotting down, “Remember the time Aunt Susan took me to the opera? She wore her long strand of pearls and a fur stole and smelled like Shalimar.”
Try out our Notepad feature today and see how easy capturing your memories can be.
Later on, you can return to that note, and any others you wrote down, and think about the context of the memory. Where were you? About how old were you? What we some more specifics of the event? How did you feel on that day? How did the event impact you or make you feel about the people you were with.
The best part of Write My Memoirs is that all your notes and your longer chapters are kept for you online. You can end a writing session at any time and return to where you left on days, weeks, or months later.
Here are some other examples of short notes that could become the basis of chapters in your autobiography.
