This week write a mini-autobiography.
Have fun with this. Try:
1. Writing your biography instead. If you choose to go this route, remember that someone else is writing about you, and that your biographer has a persona. He or she is seeing you through the filter of his/ her own perceptions and prejudices. Does he approve or disapprove of you, the subject of the bio?
What theme has he/ she chosen for your life? What events will he/ she choose to reveal this theme?
2. Writing your autobiography as the treatment for a movie of your life. Glitz it up. :-)
3. Writing your autobiography as it might have been, had you made different choices.
OR:
Write four pages of a memoir. Think of a memoir as an extended personal essay: there are NO rules for a memoir, so be as creative as you like.
