How to Write Your LifeStory Each of us has a history and our own unique story. From time to time, photographic slides of the past, of both good and bad times, show in our mind. Memories continually dance around in our heads. There may come a time when you may want to preserve these unforgettable moments on paper. This Memoir Workbook was developed to help you capture those moments. Work at your own pace and in your own words. Writing a memoir can be a daunting and, at times, emotional experience. It is also exciting, fulfilling and rewarding. A memoir is a true story you tell about specific events, experiences or times in your life. You can write about the whole span of your life or one specific episode.
