LIFE STORY & MEMOIR WRITING
The process of telling our life stories gives us the chance to look back and examine our lives – to acknowledge the milestones, relationships – and struggles.
Reviewing the past can also be cathartic and healing, and it can lift mood. It can also give us the chance to make sense of our lives – and to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
Some of us may just think we’re leading an ordinary life – but sharing a story gives us the chance to see it through another’s eyes. In this way, we can see how our own uniqueness, and possibly even see that some of the events of our lives were unusual – extraordinary, even.
Storytelling engages and connects people. It’s also a wonderful way of connecting the generations. Others also might benefit from seeing how we managed to handle the big issues in our lives as well – and how they might too.
Further, telling our stories can give people a sense of purpose. And when we have a sense of purpose, we have a reason to get up in the morning.
So where do we begin?
If you are keen to get started on your memoir or life story, get in touch, and we can discuss the process. Either face-to-face, via Zoom or phone, we will begin the interviewing process. Firstly, we will work out a plan of action a storyline and a timeline for the process. Then we will begin … I will listen, ask questions and record your stories and memories. I will then transcribe them and write them up into a cohesive storyline.
