What would you put in a book about your life?

It would have been right if you had mentioned about yours first before asking others to tell. However, on my part : 1) Childhood - age 1-7, 8-15, 16-20, 20-52. 52 onwards . I will segregate and write important things about me which may be of interest to people. In such cases it depends on the publisher --if he can market it well then more people will buy. have a good day.

My life is very complicated and it has a lot of ups and downs. It started to become interesting when i was 13 and that's where i would like to start my story. There's a lot of drama and in fact mystery in my life and a lot of twist and turns as well. At the age of 33, i think i still have a lot of things to look forward too. I'm still young and my boy is only 7 years old and i'm not sure what kind of troubles (if any and i hope there won't be) my son would bring when he reaches the teenage years. I won't focus too much on the love story as my life has been full of sad stories it could make you wet your hanky.

Writing own biography is no easy feat.It has to be real and factual account of our own life journey. The life account should be interesting enough to mesmerise the readers. Unlike fiction novels where the contents of the story are dramatized out of the author's creative ideas. If I were to write my own life I would have to highlight the interesting childhood I had growing up in a big family and later was send to a boarding school in a convent run by catholic nuns when I was 6 years old. It was tough life for me to be detached from my family at such a raw age but that period of stay did shape up my life to withstand the difficulties I faced later in my marriage. Wow....this is inspiring me to seriously pen down the paths I took to be where I am today.

haha =D I think i ever started a similiar post to this.. hehe ^_^ For me, everybody's life is just as interesting. No matter how boring or stagnant it is, there's always a reason to why they are leading their life in this way. Excitment lies behind what we see on the surface. For us to find out, we need to dig deeper into it.. lol =D I can say my life is interesting, though not as high profile or highly exposed out there. I like the way my life is, but not entirely happy yet.. haha =D Contradicting?

If I were to write about my life, I'd probably select the high school years and write something funny - because those were really fun years, and I was surrounded by so many interesting people, who are now great adults, with good jobs and loving families. I think my life was not so interesting from the point of view of the events involved, but rather because of all the people who crossed paths with me.

book of my life would be about trying to find love and happines for long time with no success, and then after few years being incredibly happy meeting my husband the love of my life, and then about making family :) Of course I would also love to write about trips and raising children!

When I came home from my trip around the world I wrote a book about my experiences by hand. It is on my bookshelf and not many people have read it. I was 21 years old then. If I wrote a book about my life traveling to different countries would feature in it. Also parenting would feature because I have a teenage son, a disabled 4 year old son and a soon to be 2 year old girl. My pets would feature and at the moment I have 2 miniature poodles. People reading it would find my travel experiences interesting and exciting.

I have often thought of writing a book but it would span three generations--my grandmother, my mother, my sister and myself. My grandma is the only one that had a happy marriage but it was full of hardship and her childhood and early adult life was burdensome and miserable, her mother left the family and at 12 she had to quit school and wash, cook and clean for her family. Grandpa saw her when she was 14 and vowed she would be his wife, how romantic! My mom married young and the marriage was never very happy. My sister, the same, and when that marriage failed (they remained friends the rest of their lives) her life took several dramatic turns. She sometimes had to sell potatoes on the side of the road and scrounge through grocery bins in the alleys behind the stores for food. Me, I had a bad marriage, too, really bad. We all survived and even thrived. I've thought often about writing a book but it seems a lot of the same old, same old. I'd be writing it mostly for myself, I guess. The people it would help would probably not listen but a lot of women could read it and feel their experiences weren't isolated and they would not feel so alone.

I have written a book about my life.. and many people have read it and found it interesting. My struggles through childhood and early adulthood are interesting to a lot of people. It's full of drama and suspense. Since then there's not much to tell.. just regular financial struggles and such.

I sometimes think about this myself and to tell you the truth I struggle to come up with ideas! I keep a personal journal anyway so I suppose writing a book about yourself would be like writing a more ambitious private journal! I think that every life is interesting no matter what the person may or may not be experiencing in life. I sometimes think that my own life is a little boring but then again I have my own interests and I suppose I could write about those and make my experiences quite flowery!! If I think about this carefully though it's almost like I am writing a book already as I do keep a private journal and many years from now this is the legacy that I will leave once I have passed on from this life. It doesn't matter whether I achieve fame or not! Andrew

I think I would want my book to tell the story about how I made my life, and my family's situation better. About how I sacrificed a few things so as just to make sure that my kids would have a brighter future. That inspite of all the trials, and difficulties, I still made it. Now if only I know how to make this all true!

If i were to write a book about my life, i would start at the day i graduated from College, and talk about my love life , my married life and being a mother to my daughter. I would delve on the trials i had, how i was able to hurdle them and the transformations i had because of the problems i encountered in life. I know it would sell because all women could relate to my life stories and learn from them.

I would like to write the times where life was so difficult for me and my family. The time when i used to sell candies so that i'll have an allowance for school. That time, i will do everything just to finish my studies. I think my life story will give hope to a lot of students who are struggling financially nowadays.

I often tell people that my life is one huge, boring soap. I was married when I was seventeen and had a baby by the time i was nineteen. Divorced by twenty. Remarried very quickly, then to my shock and dismay I found out that my new husband liked men just as much...if not more...then I did (I should also mention i knew this person for YEARS) then divorced again. Then I met my current husband who I married after 7 months, had baby #2 9 months later and it has been one big suck fest ever since. Ever read "Eat, Pray, Love" Well that is my life except all the fun travels and great people.

I wish I had alot of nice things to put in a book about me but unfortunately, there is not a whole lot of nice things to write about. There hae been very few good things in my life. There has just been too many bad things that overpower the good.

the discovery and dealing with food allergies, might help some, but I would be bored writing it!

I wouldn't choose to write one I don't think, atleast not at this time. I think I'd put a lot of good advice, or what I thought to be good advice in it though. I'd kind of make it like "big fish" the movie, except without all the lies. We have to find a way to enjoy our life, that's all I can say.

It's a good idea to write about your life experiences! You'll be able to read back on it someday. It may come in handy when you're 90 and losing all your memory! Though I'm in my mid twenties and I still have trouble remembering memories from earlier days. I guess I should just start writing them down as they come to me so I don't lose them for good!

if i chosen to write a book about my life i'll gradually put a story about my life that could inspire a lot of people.

I have thought about this quite a few times actually and if I was going to write abook about myself I would try and start from the early covering every aspect of my life and the loved ones around me. I would really enjoy writing about my life over the last 4years because they have been the biggest transission of all, moving in with my partner to 2houses having my son and expecting our second baby now. Id be there foever writing though that would be the only problem, too much to say or put down in writing. Im writing a journal for my pregnancy at the moment for my son/daughter to look back on when they are older
