Top Autobiographies - Man Down

This is an excerpt from my autobiography when a man was "electrocuted" and I "saved" him:

Some of the things I would do to avoid certain situations would be to volunteer for anything going, as long as it wasn’t anything to do with my proper job. I would for instance, volunteer for dining hall party. All this involved was cleaning and setting up the dining hall, washing up and making sure that all the sauces and condiments were full. It was great and gave me a break from the nervous tension I experienced whilst trying desperately to do my normal job. My superiors just thought I was great for volunteering and that’s the irony, I got a really good report.

Of course this was only a temporary reprieve and after the allotted time I was back in the MCO. Things didn’t all go badly, since there were times when a bit of luck would occasionally come my way. I was on the broadcast as usual when one of the electrical engineers began to repair a nearby radio. I took very little notice when all of a sudden he screamed out and began to shake violently from electrical shock. I sprang into action, surprising even myself. Spotting a wooden broom that was close by, I grabbed it and swiftly pushed the poor rating away from the radio. He immediately fell to the floor as I threw the broom to one side. As I was about to feel for a pulse, he suddenly jumped to his feet and walked off. At first I was completely baffled until I heard the applause from the onlookers. It had been an exercise and I had passed with flying colours but I felt annoyed. It had all been a ‘set up’ but nevertheless, I felt a great sense of pride.

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.

Autobiography example - Top Autobiographies

For an example of an autobiography, then look no further than "Running For Home", an autobiography that was written from the heart by a man that really lived.

After suffering a minor head injury at the age of six, the author embarked on a dizzying number of adventures many of which turned out to be nothing but farcical. Suffering much failure in his life, he nevertheless felt the need to share with others his many and varied experiences.

Without any formal training or any help other than a computer, the resulting Autobiography, Running For Home is an example of what can be achieved by a complete novice intent on writing a book.

With determination and enthusiasm, it is possible for you to do the same and leave a lasting legacy for your family. Click here to have a free preview of Running For Home top autobiography.
