Step 1: Gather Facts
- Start by writing down everything you know about yourself and your history. You may not use it all in your autobiography, but by assembling as much information as you can, you increase the potential for a rich and detailed story.
- Begin by writing down your own memories.
- Reminisce through old photos and yearbooks, taking notes as you remember people and events.
- Talk to your friends and loved ones. They may remember different things, or have a different perspective on events than you do.
- Go to the library and look up magazines and newspapers from various time periods in your life. What were the major world events that occurred during your life? What were you doing when they happened?
-
Step 2: Organize Your Information
- After you've assembled all your data, you'll need to sort through it and organize it before you begin to write.
- Layout a chronological timeline, including dates, events, and who was involved at each point.
- Look at the timeline, and identify any gaps. Is there any source you can use to get more information about periods that seem to have big gaps?
- Group the events into subcategories.
- A simple way to group this is by time period.
- You can also group events by theme.
-
Step 3: Write Your Story
- As with all good writing, you need an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
- Although the body will probably start at the beginning, the introduction does not need to start with your birth. Select a memorable event, and write about it.
- If you're not sure where to start, select an event, and write a memoir of that event. A memoir focuses on just one aspect of your life, and could serve as a chapter in your autobiography.
- You can conclude with either a look to the future, or a summary of your past.
- Add anecdotes, quotes, and tie-ins to external events to add interest.
