Write Your Memoir In A Weekend: Putting Life in Life Stories

Write Your Memoir In A Weekend: Putting Life in Life Stories

Today more and more families are missing out of the valuable experiences of hanging out with grandparents and other members of an extended family.  Life is so hectic. Over the next couple of generations, our children and their children--who have been raised on mass media rather than family stories and values sharing of important people in their lives--may come to know very little about their ancestry and traditions.

You live as long as your story is remembered.

This is a very intensive weekend project that will produce the bones of memoir writing or life story.  There is a longer, more in-depth course on how to write a memoir in the works, but this will give you a great start and you may be satisfied with the finished product come Monday.

What you will learn

• Imagine yourself being able to give your life story to loved ones as a gift. Can you picture how pleased they will be to have a written record of family stories and anecdotes. They will be able to share these stories for generations and be so grateful you took the time out of your busy life to think of them.
• You will be able to sort through the many stories and tales and recognize which ones you really want to describe in detail. You will be able to anchor time, place, events and what is going on in society at the time to paint a verbal picture for your reader.
