Why write an autobiography? Top Autobiographies
This is acutally a good question. Why on earth I started writing mine, I don't realy know. It was winter as I said somewhere before and I was a bit low. I was initially bitter at all the failure I had endured but began to realise that it wasn't neccessarily all failure and I just knew I had something to share after all.
Now it's done and published, I can now see the journey I have completed and what a journey with so many unexpected emotions and increases in self esteem, I can't begin to tell you how much it has improved my life.
So why write your autobiography? Well look at it this way, it will be a lasting legacy for your family and friends for the future. Not only this, you might find that once you start writing, all your demons will come out and will be banished. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved and this is such a truism if ever I heard one.
Your self esteem might be more intact than mine but I can tell you with honesty that if you manage to write this book, things will happen that you did not expect as it did for me. Originally the writing of a book was something alien and totally out of my comfort zone. I realy did not seriously think that I could with any conviction think that I would complete a book let alone publish it.
To complete a book gives you an amazing sense of satisfaction especially when you see it in print (allbeit as an ebook) but just because it's not in "proper" paperback or hardback if you like, don't ever let this put you off writing. What ebooks have done is to open up a whole new vista for amateur writers sell their stories on a world-wide platform rather than have to go grovelling to a publisher.
If you feel daunted as to where to start in writing your book then just start right at the beginning and keep going. Just don't worry too much about the grammar and spelling to start with since this will be dealt with once you got it all out there and it's all down on "paper" (computer if you like). Don't forget, it's not about how well you can write but it is about you and your experiences. As I have said before, write from the heart and pretend that you are literally talking to somebody. This is how it will come over in the most convincing way.
Don't be put off by the complexities of publishing your book to Amazon. This is a whole subject in itself but is not as daunting as it sounds and there is plenty of help out there for budding authors. Just leave this until the completion of your book and tackle it then.
I hope I have given you a little bit of confidence and inspiration to go ahead and do it and write that top autobiography that you always wanted. Come on, lets get cracking.
