Memoir Writing
Are you considering Memoir Writing - leaving your life story for your family? The terms memoir, autobiography, life story are all the same.. writing about your life. If you enjoy writing, this is a great way to share your life, your knowledge, with family, friends, or even the world (via a blog). If the idea of writing your entire life story sounds like a huge project, think in terms of story after story instead. Later, you can fashion them into a book, with chapters, if you care to. Think of one event that you remember, something big in your life, or a simple moment in time with your mother. It doesn't have to be a long story, even the simple shorties will feel great to put down in writing and share later. You might even forget some events later, so write them down and enjoy later! Many libraries give Memoir Writing classes for seniors to caputer their memories. Check with your local library to see if this is available to you! Visitors to this site have left their ideas below!
