Book Description
Biographies are not just for celebrities. ‘Normal’ people’s lives – your own, in fact – can be much more fascinating and interesting. The aim of this book is to help you celebrate your life – and those who are special to you. Taken a step at a time – maybe just writing a few episodes of your life – you will see that writing your life story is not as daunting as it first appears; indeed it can be great fun. You need have no writing experience at all – writing at its best is simply speaking on paper.
