Try to summarize your life in two or three sentences. Take your time. Think about your past. "But mostly think about who you are today and how you got that way," says Roberta . "Maybe you want to focus on a certain relationship, maybe a certain theme...or maybe a feeling that has persisted for years."Consider these examples before putting pen to paper:Loving mom who worked all the time, no dad. Never really got over lonely childhood.Love my life, love my dog, love my kids. No room for a guy.Finally sober. Exhausting journey. Many regrets.Beautiful, close family. And then the accident.Fears and phobias finally overcome, thanks to husband. Still not sure if I deserve him.First off, if you want to write a memoir, this three-sentence description will form the structure of your book. In effect, it's a supershort story of your life—a beginning, a middle and the now, if you will. Even if you have zero impulse to write another word, however, the exercise can show you how you view yourself, your past and your present, all of which can inform your future. Unless, of course, you change the narrative—a privilege granted to any writer. все понятно
