How To Write Your Life Story or Memoir

Writing Your Story may be the most healing work you have ever done.

In this course, you will build a timeline and learn the different types of life experiences and how they are best captured. You will come away with lots of stories, remembered ideas, and techniques. It will be fun, I promise.

Who Should Attend?

• Those who want to leave an "Ethical Will" which is an ancient method of leaving guidance for your children and your children's children.

• Those who want to preserve the stories of their parents, grandparents, and other loved ones.

• Those who already started their memoirs but need help organizing and finishing them.

• Those who have a deep desire to understand themselves and see the value of a life well-lived.

Participants Will Learn:

• To organize timelines, stories, photos, anecdotes, recipes, and memorabilia into a flowing narrative.

• About different genres of narratives and which are best for them.

• About choosing a particular subject, a section of time or person to concentrate your efforts on.

• About interviewing others for their histories.

• What is a true story? Whose version is truer?

• How to handle painful memories.

• How to print, publish, and distribute your memoir

Class Requirements

Anyone who desires to capture their memories or the story of a loved one is welcome and congratulated for taking this important step. Because this is self-paced, you can do a section at a time, or you can set aside an entire weekend to complete it in one sitting.
