How to write an autobiography - Top Autobiographies

Want to know how to write your own autobiography? I won't pretend that it's going to be easy but it can be done.

I began to write mine over a year ago. I had no training and no professional help to do this either. All I did was to get it all down on the computer and then allow the programme to correct everything including the grammar. Never be put off because you arn't an expert. If you do this, then you will never write it.

The first thing to learn is how to use Microsoft Word on your computer. This realy isn't too difficult and if you are determined enough, then you should have few problems once you get to know where everything is. When you get the settings right the programme will generally look after itself and make corrections as you go along which will inspire confidence.

Punctuation is another matter but don't dispair if you arn't good at this either. You could get a freind or relative to help. Failing this you could always get professional help but this is going to cost a bit. This could be worth it if you feel that you have something to say. Most people acutally do. I did not realise this until I began to write mine. I had not planned to write a book and I did not believe that I had enough knowledge to do it. My motivation for writing was more out of an emotional need to get it all off my chest. This gave rise to an unexpected bonus; I found a form of therapy by writing down my whole life story. It certainly began to give me a sense of achievment and an increase in self esteem.
