Writing Your Life Story: It's All about You!

By Patricia Toth

Have you ever considered how very special you are? If you were to search the entire planet, you would never find another person identical to “you.” There’s no one who looks exactly like you, or thinks like you, or experiences what you feel the same way you feel it. You are absolutely, wonderfully, totally unique. This is why I’ve written “Writing Your Life Story: It’s All About You.” You need to tell the story of your life.

This book guides you through the process. It explains what you need to know before you begin; the process for developing your content; and, it helps you get your book ready to be published. You’ll understand when and where you’ll write, the importance of organizing your memories, what you’ll want to include in each section, and more.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1946, I’m old enough to have enjoyed several careers. I live in sunny Arizona now and adore hot weather. Best of all, I'll never need to shovel snow again. Between Ohio and Arizona, there were two husbands, one son, two daughters-in-law, and one grandson. I didn't keep count of how many boyfriends I had between my first and second husbands. As you can imagine, I've been living a full and turbulent life.Throughout my working years, I was a secretary, office manager, realtor, Avon lady, and a plumbing and electrical buyer. I finally found my niche as a technical writer which took care of paying my bills for more than 25-years. I've written numerous award-winning documents that have been published globally.When I retired in 2014, I had no doubt I'd continue writing. I also knew I was tired of people telling me technical writers aren't creative. That was simply silly. I love capturing words and letting them flow from my mind onto a keyboard. I also love sharing what I’ve learned during this crazy process called “aging.” It makes sense to combine my writing with my creativity. In the process, I've discovered growing old is a pleasure and a wonderful opportunity to write books for you..

INTRODUCTION

There’s a saying I’d like to share with you: Be yourself. Everybody else is taken. It refers to everyone on the planet - millions upon millions of unique individuals. You can’t live their life, and none of them can ever live yours. That’s why, like everyone else, you have own story to tell.

You may be hesitant about believing you’re special. Perhaps you’re a little modest too, but the truth is that the life you’ve been living makes you unique and exceptional. Your story is unique and exceptional too.

It doesn’t make any difference if you are 15-years old or 99 when you write your autobiography. The simple truth is that no one can tell your story better than you. This book will show you how.

Which would you like to write? Your autobiography or your memoir? That’s a trick question. An autobiography and a memoir are the same.

Is writing your life’s story difficult to do? Yes, and no. Yes, if you’re not dedicated and self-disciplined enough to write it. And yes, if your past includes painful memories, remembering them might be
