Autobiography

                                                                                How to Write an Autobiography

 

Tips to write an autobiography:

Like the examples of autobiographies discussed above, any autobiography 

needs to deal with a few aspects:

 

Introduction: One needs to give on introduction about themselves in the

autobiography. This introduction needs to contain basic aspects like name, 

where you live, when and where were you born, what conditions were you born

in, etc.

 

You in totality: This part of the autobiography deals with a general point of view,

that you hold about yourself. It also needs to let the reader be able to visualize

you in the current day. You need to include your current situations, habits, 

lifestyle etc.

 

Life, in general: This part of the autobiography deals with your view about life,

on a general note. You need to include your understanding of life and its 

implications. This part is your route to propound your belief. So, make it 

descriptive.

 

View and aims: Here, you talk about where do you see yourself in the future or 

what you expect to happen in the future. This part, mostly, should be in

compatibility with the previous aspect, else your reader could get confused and

lose interest in the book.

 

Conclusion: Like all stories, an autobiography also needs to have an apt 

conclusion. You can leave a lasting impression on the reader with the help of

your conclusion. Remember, you do not need to have a “moral of the story”. You

can simply end it with hope, if you like.

 

Always remember, it is your autobiography, not an example of an autobiography, 

you can write it the way you like. So, experiment and enjoy. As they say, “if you

find it interesting while writing it, the reader will find it interesting while reading it”. 

This is where I sign off. Hope to find your autobiography on the stands soon!!
