Piccadilly The Story of My Life: If a Story Is In You, It Has to Come Out (9781608631599)

Description

DIY memoir: every life is packed with stories worth telling, and no one can tell them better than the person who lived them. But when you sit down to put it all into writing, where do you begin? the blank page is the most intimidating and procrastination-inspiring part of any writing project. Luckily, this notebook clears that hurdle for you. In its pages, you’ll find prompts and exercises, written by a published writer, to help you bring your stories to life. A good memoir is more than an autobiography that chronicles your existence; it’s a life on a page full of description and dialog, a window into your past. If you’re not a writer, even if you’ve never written before, don’t worry: these prompts and exercises are designed to coax out your inner storyteller with specific, guiding questions. This book will create a record of your life, but it will also help you express who you are as a person, and how you became who you are today. Whether you’re writing down your life story for yourself, your close family, or for a wider audience, this book will guide you through the project and make your life story a joy to write and a pleasure to read. Once you’ve done all of the prompts, you’ll have a wealth of memories, anecdotes, and personal knowledge to work with. The question is, what will you do with it?
