Writing About My Life

My husband says that I should write a book about my life. But would people actually find it interesting?

It is hard to look at my life and be objective about it. What I find interesting, might not be all that interesting to anyone else. How do I know what to include? It seems like such a huge undertaking, but one that I have considered from time to time.

When a project seems so big like this, I tend to just shy away from it altogether for fear of screwing it up somehow. I fear that I will start writing and get stuck. Then what? Do I just get rid of everything that I have written and start again? Ok, I guess I am rambling a bit. I will talk about a few things in my life and see where it leads.

Hey, first of all, never shy away from anything. Big projects reap the big rewards. Just start at the beginning, as a child. Think of how things were, and how now, as an adult you see those things diffrently. Write about the way you were raised, the parents, the influences. Everyone has a story, every single one of us. Keep at it.
