If your main message is a negative one, your stories might be paying for sad and mired in injustice and betrayal. But if you challenge yourself to go beyond blame accusations, hatred and victimizing to reveal the strong, forgiving and compassionate person that you are, your stories can turn into a wonderful book that others can appreciate and can learn from Wish for fame.

You might have different reasons from the list in this lesson, and that's okay, but wants to have discovered which reasons resonate with you the most. My advise that you take some time to think and reflect on them. The stronger the reason you choose to begin to write your book, the more you will feel motivated to finish it. So now that we have reached the end of why write a memoir lesson, don't forget to include the practice in this last In this part of your to do list. The next lesson will discuss the importance of understanding what is covered in the memoir . I'll talk to yourself bye for now. 3. LessonTwo: Hello and welcome to this less. Here we will investigate the differences between writing a memoir and autobiography. Way will also discuss how much easier it is to write a memoir wants. You understand his differences? What does your memoir cover? Writing about what is relevant to your story. What ISS. An autobiography or biography? This type of book presents a revealing account of a person's entire life, their personal history, their birth, youth and adulthood, ending with old age, their secrets, education, conflicts and achievements, their personal history recounted in chronological order. Also, a biography or autobiography is usually written at the end of someone's life. A biography can also be written about someone else, such as a celebrity, important historical figure, famous athlete, politician or spiritual leader, among others. What is a memoir, any significant event or serious of moments? In one's life? A memoir is a piece or time frame off one's life, though it can be about anything. A memoir usually features an event or serious of events turned into stories that reveal a message. For example, it can be about the death of someone you loved habits off your older brother. A trip to era spiritually site becoming a writer Finding true love or life on the beach. A memoir focuses on particular events that relate to each other in order to reveal a life lesson. Remember, a memoir should be interested in itself and should be about your intimate personal experiences. Uninspiring memoir is written like a novel and should include these important elements. Characters, location, conflict structure, point of view, conclusion and message characters. There is a main character and supporting characters. For example, you are the protagonist and the supporting characters of those who in some way influenced you. Location. It's simply when and where the story took place. For example, it's 1998. You're young and living with your parents, who are poor and uneducated in a small town in India. I'm sorry. Fewer man taken discourse, this example The woman, some using you, but it's a woman. Max is conflict conflicts to show what kind of external and internal problems are involved in this situation, And the problem would be that you have a strong desire to leave the town to move to the big city and to study medicine. So now we're gonna move on to instructor and structures are the stories that demonstrate how the conflict developed, trials encountered and the attempts to address that conflict and also successes and failures. For example, continue with that story here. Your parents have other plans. Arranged marriage. So now you're marrying a man ho you don't love, but you don't see any other choice. How can you leave the town to pursue your dreams? Your parents will never support you, and you have no friends in the big city. No money. But on the day before your wedding, everything changed. You ask your parents for money to go to the big city, to buy a special gift for your soon to be husband, and then you never returned. Point of view. Your memoir can be presented in the first person I and me or in the third person she and her or he or him First person example. I left the front door at 4 a.m. Walking into the dark toward the train station. My emotions walked all over May, Then translating this into the third person example would be she left the front door at 4 a.m. Walking into the dark. The word the train station her emotions walked all over her. This is a very good way of writing a memoir. If you are recounting painful events in your life, that's what I did. It's easier to write in the third person, then in the first person. So as a tip conclusion, your memoir should include the resolution that explain how the problem will conflict is solved. For example, if you are that woman who wanted to leave the town and then the parents had the arranged marriage. But she managed to leave the town anyway, so the conclusion would be years later. You are working in one off the main hospitals in the country, and now you're married to someone you love, and you have to healthy, beautiful Children. So this would be the conclusion. The message. The message is the main point of your story, which is to reveal the statement you want your readers to understand and acknowledge. For example, in our story here, this would be the statements. One courage Is the mother off everything worth pursuing in life to follow your dreams in your all heart, regardless off disapproval of others. Three. You are the designer off your own destiny floor take responsibility for your own happiness and success in life, so this would be the message. As you can see, a memoir is not just the recording off your past, the effects. It is about the ener and or external personal conflicts, you encountering life and the realization that there is a deeper meaning behind everything . That's key. Another key point to remember when writing your memoirs that you're focused on parts of your life rather than on everything within it. When writing a memoir, it would be a big mistake to mention areas of your life that don't relate to the main message. So always remember the reason you're writing your story on stay true to that. The greatest thing about writing memoirs is that you can write a number of them throughout your life as long as they are about different events that make you a person that you are today. Now that you know the difference between an autobiography and memoir, you know that you can write many books about events in moments of your life. Let's investigate how to identify a powerful message for your book. I'll see yourself 4. LessonThree: Hello and welcome to this lesson. I'm not going to help you to find the main message for your book. You need to remember that the message is not about you. It is about your book. It is the resolution off all of your stories. Your message is what will make your book inspirational. What is your message? Find in the most compelling statements for your book. What is your message? My message is my life, said Gandhi when a reporter asked him this question. So ask yourself this. If you could replace your name with the life lesson for virtue on accomplishment, a merit, what would it be? Courage, patience, determination, compassion, change. Faith, respect, wealth, Wisdom. Let's say, for example, that you're sad courage to make sure the definition you give yourself is accurate. Asking yourself the following questions. Do you feel that courageous is also how other people think of you? Did they reach out to you for this quality? Do others admire and respect to you for these reasons, if the answer is yes, then there you have it. Your books. Inspirational message is about courage. With this message in mind, you now need to find the most relevant events in your life that led you to become that courageous person. Another example. Your name message is forgiveness. How many people in your life have you forgiven? You ask that question to yourself? Want to have they done to impact to your life That makes your forgiveness so powerful? So your memoir is all about the message. Therefore, you should ensure every story. A tale relates to that message. Another example off my own that growing up in Brazil in a sad home, my name, my message. Waas acceptance When I started writing my own book so accepting my painful past waas a theme one aspect of my life that related directly to this message. Acceptance was the mistreatment I received from my parents, especially my mother. So my first draft about this particular topic was written in the form of a letter to her in that ladder. I asked her why for this and why for that in another 1000 lies and I detailed how her actions and behavior made me feel it was a very long letter. So after rioting, lots of drafts concerning this specific topic, I realized that I only needed one So I asked myself, What waas? The most dramatic moment in my life that involved my mother and a few memories came to me right away. I rolled them down, and in the end I chose to explore one particle event that I late shared in my book. It's titled Working for Hug. So please refer to these two downloadable PdF in this lesson. The passage. Working for a hug to better understand this writing concept on discussing here in this example, I describe the moment when I was cooking and I experienced feelings of anxiety, sadness, strong feelings. This message of acceptance was also connected to forgiveness, since forgiving my mother meant accepting the challenge of my past and overcoming them. So it's important to remember that after you find a solid message, your next step is to write an outline off all of the events in Siris of moments in your life that connect directly to that message in case you're still wandering. Considering reflecting on what your message might be, let's explore method using questions to find some topics that my lead to an inspirational message for your book. Finding a strong topic for your inspirational memoir what is a meaningful subject to you. It can be something that happened a long time ago, something that is happening in your life right now, or war is about events that might or may not happen in the future. Here is some questions to ask yourself that will help to identify a meaningful theme for your book about me. What do I admire most about the person that I have become? What makes me feel proud of myself? What are the core values off my life? What do I love to do, even if others disapprove of it? My past? Who am I not forgiving what happened to me in my childhood, teenage or adult years that I have not yet accepted? What do I miss for my past? What memories would I like to write about? What past events hurt me so deeply that I would never want to wish them on anyone? What painful personal challenges have I overcome, and how did I overcome them? My work? Am I doing what I love? What would I do for free? Am I honestly expressing my feelings to my bus or co workers? Am I afraid I might lose my job If I express myself, Am I making the money?

How would I like to improve my house? My diet? Am I eating healthy?

Will write out the answers for the questions you feel the most interested in and connected with which ever topic you find yourself feeling the most emotional about is the one you should explore in depth. Sometimes the message becomes clear. Once you start writing your stories about the particular topic that you feel strong about, I recommend that you return to this lesson from time to time. During your book outline process, you might find more specks of your life that will help at further death to your inspirational story. So don't forget it's really important that you take your time to do a full assessment of your life and walk through all of these questions in order to discover what resonates with you the most. What speaks to your heart in the next lesson will delve deeply into your main story and book topic so we'll talk to you soon. 5. LessonFour: How do you choose your topic? Finding a Siris of events that are connected to your message is essential for creating a great May more. These events can become interesting stories that can lead to an inspirational message, and that's what we want. It is great if you can specify a clear message before you explore all of your topics and stories. However, sometimes simply by riding the most memorable, insignificant events over your life can reveal that massive to you. Keep that in mind when looking to find an interesting topic for your book. It's important that you make this transitional connection. For example, think about the beginning of something and then the end. What waas the initials ST off that person off that something. And then what is now the final state of that. For example, you come from poverty to wealth and then resentment to forgiveness. Depression, happiness, fear, courage, self abused, self love, disbelieve to acceptance, anger, kindness, greed, contentment, hatred, compassion, betrayal to honesty, ignorance to wisdom, intolerance. Patients discouragement to joy, stagnation to transformation, shamed grace, confusion through understanding. This is the way you must think when trying to find that topic that interesting topic for your book. Let's explore one topic from list and that will be coming from poverty to wealth. So your stories around the stop IQ need to relate to one another so that your and statement delivers a clear message. This stop ICS. They don't necessarily need to be in chronological order. They don't have to be about you either. For instance, you could write about the person who assisted you through your transition from poverty to wealth. Let's say that person is your uncle, so you could describe your uncle's behavior, habits and teachings. How he's influenced positively contributed to your success. I could tell a story of how one single day you spend working with him changed the course of your life. You could describe from morning to late afternoon and how each hour off that day became a profound lesson taught by your uncle about making money, say vain and accumulating wealth these moments that you walked with your uncle on that particular day, my have been interrupted by his engagement with customers from which your observations became valuable lessons. You learned about how to get rich so you could begin your book with the most meaningful story about that day. This is just an example. So the richer your stories are, the more inspirational they will be. And, of course, remember, they must be true stories. This is very important when looking to find an interesting topic for your book. Focus on your emotional truth, the strong feelings in your perception about the events over your life in around that topic . I'm gonna give you an example. Let's say we're talking about a town, any town, and I could simply write something like this. The town was very small, poor and simple. There was plenty of vegetation surrounding it, and everything seemed to be where it belonged. But the drought wouldn't let it stay green for very long. So as you can see here, I have no emotional connection with this town whatsoever. No feelings. I'm just describing the space as pretty much as it ISS. But let's see now when I write with feelings with emotions about this town, the town is not on any tourist maps, and even today there are no recommended places to eat or sites to see. Its narrow, unpaved streets didn't want it to be more than what they wore the vegetation was grateful when the season of rains revived the landscape. Even the grass, which died before this glorious bath didn't complain about how hard it was to live. It was simply living the life that was meant to live, neither happy nor unhappy but alive. Do you notice the difference? So now the second example? I describe that same town with a lot more emotional truth. They are feelings. So those details about the town they are described through the unique lens of my own perception that makes a huge difference when riding an inspiration of book. So this example of the 2nd 1 will make your stories much more compelling. Engage, inspirational. But for that you need to be connected with your emotional truth. How you truly feel about something As a practice, I suggest that you describe a place or person that you know well, but go beyond the facts, as I showed here with the town example. So let your feelings do the riding for you and that can I fail? It's a sure thing to work when writing an inspirational book. I also encourage you to go back to that list that I provided in this lesson about that transition from one state to another, from an initial state to finally state from poverty to wealth, from depression to happiness, from fear to courage and etcetera. Try to understand also that concept when thinking about your entire book next out. Did you how to write and crafty your outline? And this is where you take all the elements off. Previous lessons combined them so you can start designing your inspirational book. I'll talk to you soon. 6. LessonFive: the power off the outline. In this lesson, you will discover how to build a basic outline without compromising the creative process. Three Outline of a book, even if it's temporary, provides a sense of clarity and direction. It is the math to your destination. Before you start writing, you need to organize your ideas. Using amount Line outlines are essential because they assist you with visualize in the plan . Establish what you're goes, are helped. Finalize your many script faster, remind you to stay centered. Make sure your stories link to each other. Organize your story is the whole beginning.

Once you have all the titles and or a short description for your stories written in the outline, it is time to tell each story. At this stage, you can allow yourself to be creative three. Messy, as I said before. But when we riding comes, however, you need to pay a lot more attention, making sure your stories of faithful to the topic and that they connect directly to your message. Practicing with an outline. Let's explore what this process would look like. Step one example. Outline. Please read and study this extensive outline for a moment. This is actually, um, outline from my finished and published book. So by using that as a model to create your own first outline, you will find yourself on the right path. Riding a whale ratan Look, Step two. Analyzing the outline. Let's explore the introduction. This section contains the most powerful words you put together in your book. This is because it is the readers first impression of your work, their first exposure to your riding on a specific topic. This experience can easily interest or disappoint the reader. Readers will have never heard of you in your work. Will Onley continue to read your book if it engaged them within the first few pages? An introduction is most often needed for nonfiction books such as Memoirs. The purpose of an introduction is to explain the wise or the reason you wrote the book and why it is worth the readers time. The introduction is sometimes reading by a different person in often praises the recommends Your work, I recommend write in the introduction last. This is what I did with my book. Here is a sample with a few paragraphs, parts and chapters. You can divide your book into parts or sections. The parts are optional. It is a good way to arrange your books content. The idea is to organize your content by topic and then arranged them according to their logical development. Next were classified each part or subsection into chapters. This is how our sample outline here is structured. This arrangement parts and chapters can follow a chronological order or a sequence of related events, providing readers with much more enjoyable and interesting experience. While parts and chapters are usually similar in length, this not a rule note and the simple outline that parts contain different amounts of content in relation to one another. But as long as they have a Claire and logical consistency, you'll be fine parts and chapters should flow. In other words, the end of each part and or chapter connects to the beginning off each new chapter apart. Let's explore our outline sample more deeply. This is the story of a woman who lived almost 40 years of her life, hiding her unhappiness behind a fit and healthy looking body, social accomplishments and relationships. However, finding joy was a secret she never gave up on Part one. So not one contains three chapters that following logical sickness of events, describing the circumstances that gave rise the reasons she became obsessed with physical fitness and health. Chapter one covers the early events over her childhood when she's in a hopeless state. Chapter two covers her teenage years and the moments when she finds hope and loses it again . Chapter three covers her adulthood when they are major chains in her life, and yet she finds herself in the same situation off finding and losing Hope. Park two contains three chapters. This section describes the most successful moments of her life in her attempts to connect physical activities to spirituality. Chapter four covers her new, successful career and describes her unsuccessful attempts to truly connect with her clients , and Chapter five covers her reflections on conventional fitness and how they did help her find happiness. It also covers the process off participating in and winning a fitness competition. Part three contains three chapters. This section describes the moments of grace change that inspired her to walk in the path off Joy. Chapter six covers how she finally finds the courage to break away from the old mindset to live the life she always wished for. Chapter seven shows how she integrates fitness and spirituality. Chapter eight Chapter eight covers the mindset of someone who is on the path of true happiness and discusses how to recognize when you are on the right path. Conclusion. It covers important lessons she learned throughout life about finding joy here. Each lesson is organized by a specific theme. Off course. You can choose a different ending to your book. You don't have to list what you've learned from the most significant people or moments in your life. In this particular case, it works well because the story is not ending there. I knew I would be writing a second book that picks up from where the 1st 1 left off final reflections. This is completely optional. I decided to include this in my book because I had written some inspirational pieces for magazines, and they wore directly related to my journey on the path of finding happiness acknowledgements In this part, you will thank the people who have inspired, encouraged or support you in writing your book. You will also thank those who made your aspiration possible. My advice is to be sincere and creative to when writing about them, a pendant ces included. They section because I wanted to share some specific math. It's training and diet for achieving physical fitness. However, I didn't want these methods to appear as relevant as the other content. My book, The End there's Awarding, simply stays this way, although you my right a phrase or personal quote below it. And I did. Here is a summary for this structure. When building the content of your outline title each chapter bride, your main idea. Ideas for each chapter list the events facts story. Each chapter covers Title your parts, lest if you choose to destructive this way, I strongly recommend that you try this outline structure as a model for organizing your ideas. This will help you a ton when working with your outline. Always keep in mind your books message. This is doing sure that your topics events, the facts and stories for each section are connected to the main message. Thank you for taking this course.
