Hello there is Peter here again with

more tips and advice for writers from

writers life and coming up this time

writing your life story here's how to

get started if you think your life would

make very interesting reading then

turning it into a story or writing a

memoir can be an exciting and rewarding

challenge writing your life story

however may not be as easy as it seems

on the one hand you've got all the

information there and you've got an

inside perspective to everything that

happened making it easy for you to tell

the tale from a unique perspective

however you still have to work hard to

get your audience on board and once you

get started you'll soon realize it's not

as easy as simply transferring all your

memories down onto a Word document if

you want your story to be read and

appreciated by others there are lots of

things you need to think about so here's

how to get started first get everything

down in the beginning you just need to

get everything down don't worry about

timelines continuity or even making it

sound that good just literally jot down

or map out all the significant parts of

your life that you want to include in

your book and then begin to flesh them

out next get organized now it's time to

get organized think about how you want

to present your life story will events

unfold chronologically or will you group

parts of your life together according to

particular themes decide which direction

you want to go in and start organizing

your content to begin to shape your book

next be honest when it comes down to

writing your life story you should be

honest with your reader and yourself -

tapping into raw and often brutal

emotions and

memories is often the way to get the

best material and though it might seem

painful and scary will make your book

resonate with more people and your

bravery will be admired

next do your research just because it's

your stories and memories doesn't mean

you don't have to do your research

you'll no doubt write about other people

in your memoir so where you can make

sure you talk to them discuss the

memories or versions of events you have

and see if they match up next consider

the reader remember that it's essential

to consider your reader at all time what

may seem interesting as significant to

you might not be so much to them so

always think about how to tell your

story as if you were hearing it for the

first time and didn't know any of the

people or the history behind it how can

you make your story have an impact on

people how can you make them care an X

you x' poetic license sometimes the need

to embellish certain aspects of a

real-life story becomes apparent and

that's okay if you want to get creative

and change the outcome or the unfolding

of specific events the author's every

right to do so if you think he will

please your reader and make for a better

tale however just remember if you are

positioning your story as a work of

complete truth you do need to be careful

here if your readers find out you have

twisted certain events or haven't been

completely honest they could end up

feeling cheated and letdown writing your

life story can be hugely cathartic and

rewarding and can be a great way to

become a successful writer too so if you

think your life stories worth telling
