Looking for guidance and feedback, or unsure how to structure your life story, or do you need help with editing and layout?
We at Your Memory Book will be delighted to assist you.
Memories are like London buses. You remember one, and then three follow very quickly afterwards, and those memories bring on more memories. Don’t worry about putting them in chronological order just yet; get them written down first, and the editing can happen later.
Lists and Brainstorming can also help to turn your memories into your story
Lists are an excellent way of brainstorming ideas and adding to your arsenal of concrete details. If you’re writing about a live event in the past and you want to jog your memory, then try writing some lists quickly, one after the other. Here are a few you can start with.
Write a list of:
5 things you can do now you couldn’t when you were a child
5 things you could do as a child that you can’t do now
5 items of clothing in your wardrobe you no longer wear
5 things you’ve lost/found
5 people, you haven’t seen for 5 years
5 things that happened the year you were born
Add as much detail as you can
