Explores the adventure of writing your life story.
This book is about the psychological and spiritual journey of writing the self. The journey is one of discovery, and this book is a kind of map of the terrain. It shows you the skills you'll need to undertake that journey. In writing your life, you reveal and create its meaning.
'Writing Your Life' provides techniques for getting started, handling point of view, making the pieces hang together and bringing events to life. It also explores issues such as selective memory, emotional pain and growth, objections from other family members, how to communicate you philosophic and spiritual truths without cliche and the challenges or sorting through the raw material of your own life.
This book is an inspiration - through the techniques of self-understanding and writing which it offers, through extracts from other ordinary and extraordinary life stories and through Patti Miller's beautiful prose.
