Whether you are learning writing skills or teaching them, telling a life story can be a great beginning...
We were all born with an authentic inner voice, one that spoke clearly when we were children. But most of us lose that pure, confident expression. After a few years of being corrected and 'taught' we habitually criticize ourselves, become self-conscious, and are afraid to write. This book can help to change all that.
Life story writing allows you to draw on material you know best -- your own personal experiences -- to create vivid, compelling stories that give you confidence and a sense of accomplishment. They also help to build fundamental writing skills. The techniques work for students and experienced writers, and include:

• seven steps for putting earliest memories into written words
• using present tense writing to recapture the immediacy of the past
• integrating the voices of the creator and the critic within you
• learning how to respond to and use supportive feedback
• knowing when to incorporate form, syntax, and other writing fundamentals
