Ever wanted to write a book on your life?

Hi! I've always wanted to write a book about myself too and love your idea! First, I recommend you just give yourself about 3 minutes and jot down everything interesting about your life. It can be sad, interesting, funny, romantic, etc... You get to decide that. These are your main ideas or topics. Do it now. After you do that, spend about a minute at each main idea point you put down and see if details can be added. Decide also if it should even be a main idea at all. In order to not be a bore to people, use very descriptive and moving words that mimic how you feel at that time. Think about that event very carefully as if you're reliving that event again. In addition, you genuinely have to move someone. Give an excerpt to someone to read. Choose someone who can be emotionally swayed and see if they feel your struggles and pains. Remember, in order to write this, you have to find the strength within you to go forward with this idea. If you need help, always ask someone to help you out. People may not say it all the time, but they are there to be your support to help you out. Trust in them to be your support and may they help you gain strength within yourself. I believe in you. Try using online websites that print and sell books. The only one off the top of my head is "blurb.com". Good luck and I hope to hear soon about your success!

Hey thanks for sharing this lovely post. yes it would be awesome if we all would get a chance to pen down our experiences and get it printed in the form of a book. At least everyone can get a feel about how we all have struggled and made our way so far in our lives. our stories might also become an inspirational story for some. What say?

I want to also write a book on my own life before marriage life and after marriage life mix the combination. But not time to think on it. Lots of house hold chores then mylot addiction family problems etc.

The best way to improve your writing skills and to learn how to write a book is to join a writing class. I joined one some time ago and it was a little scarey at first. I had never read my work aloud before or even shared it with family or friends. I was afraid of rejection. However the teacher was superb, the class helpful. It is important to have a good teacher, so do a little research before baring your soul. The pressure of homework and then sharing it really made me take my writing more seriously and in the end I gained some confidence.

I've always wanted to write a book about my life as well and I'm in the same dilemma as yours. But I think writing bits and pieces of whatever you remember is worth writing, should be done once it hit your memory. So always be ready with a pen and paper or your laptop or computer once you remember a good memory you'd like to share with your readers. Keeping a diary is also a good help so you could easily remember and get track of events that happened to you. Good luck!

Yes it has been one of my dream to one day write a book about my life. But I wonder where will I start, I have got so many memories that I am not sure how much I can actually write. I would want it to be very interesting as well. I will definitely have to look for the help of a professional writer as well.
