Writing your life story
Wise words from Curtis Bisel
The Scanyourentirelife website has many interesting articles, but this thoughtful and supportive article covers many of the reasons why writing about your life is important, and how to deal with the issues that arise when you do, especially those of the “is my life worth it?” type.
He writes “You don’t need to be famous to write a valuable autobiography, family history, or memoir. Everybody has many stories to share with family and friends. Remember, history may be recorded about only rich or famous people, but everybody contributes to the history of the human race in his or her own way. You are important to yourself, your family, and your friends. Why not share your stories with the present and future generations, just you probably wish your family members had shared their stories with their future generations?”
