This extremely informative book gave me a pattern to use, when writing my story. I never realized how many places that I had seen and how many exiting things I had done until the whole story began to unravel on paper, right before my eyes ! Try it ! It’s great !
Rating: 5 / 5
this book surprised me, was not expecting such a precise and enjoyable book. It has helped me a lot and is a must for anyone writing a autobiography.
Rating: 5 / 5
My only “issue” with this book is that it wasn’t what I was looking for. BUT, it may be just what you need! The author provides an encouraging step-by-step process to take you from being overwhelmed to being expressed. The meat of the book is in the explanation of the writing process; the remainder of the book is anecdotal, sharing from other autobiographies.

Great gift for that person in your life who loves to read but hasn’t taken that leap to write yet.

Lois Daniel taught classes specifically dealing with writing memoirs, and life stories, not only to older generations, but to younger ones as well. As a young adult, I found this book to be helpful with gathering thoughts/memories and piecing them together. This is a great book to start anyone off with, if they want to write an autobiography or memoir. Hopefully within the next few years, I’ll be publishing my :crosses fingers: BEST SELLING autobiography. We’ll see though!
