If you're wondering how to write a really good autobiography or if your life merits one, this book is required reading. It is not only a "How-to" it is also a "Why to."
In YOUR LIFE OUGHTA BE A BOOK you'll find inspiration and encouragement, plus the nuts and bolts of writing. You'll find out how to get started and keep going to THE END.
It's the perfect gift for yourself or a parent, grandparent of friend who might need a little push to get started -- or finished -- writing the stories of his or her life.
YOUR LIFE OUGHTA BE A BOOK is a must for memoir writing classes and groups, an invaluable aid to teachers and group leaders, indispensable for individual memoir writers. It is useful to writers at all levels, but especially helpful to those who don't yet think of themselves a writers.
You'll discover that you really are a writer and that your life really is worth writing about.
Don't know how to get started? This book gives you plenty of ideas of things to write about as well as where/how to find ideas. It has several "Writing Activities" to get you started, as well as brief excerpts from writers (both published and previously unpublished) that may spark an idea or two for you.
YOUR LIFE OUGHTA BE A BOOK is written conversationally, as if the author, Carol Petersen Purroy, were across the table from you. Although she used it as her textbook in memoir writing classes, it is not academic. It's easy to read, understand and follow.
The book starts with a proverb: Every time an elder dies a library is lost. It's so very true.
Many of her memoir-writing students have completed amazing memoirs, and some have gone on to become fiction writers. This book is so encouraging and motivating that you'll want to get going before you even finish reading it.
This book encourages people of all ages to start writing their life stories. The author says, "The story of your life is the most important thing you'll ever write." She believes it's at least as important as your Last Will and Testament, which is only about money and material things. She says, "Most of the important things in life are not things." Your REAL legacy is the story of YOU. If you don't write about who you are and what you've accomplished and learned, you'll become one of history's mysteries, one of history's anonymous footnotes, in just a couple of generations.
So now is the hour. Time's a'wasting. Get this book and get going. Write the stories of your life!
