The Destined Goal: A Full Autobiography
The Destined Goal: A Full Autobiography
Destined Goal: Now you that you have written in response to several Point of Departure prompts, it’s time for you to write your full autobiography. In 4000- to 5000-words, tell the story of your life from birth to the present.
It’s up to you to decide the best way to do that.
Will your autobiography be composed mostly of artfully sequenced incidents from your life? Or will it be comprised of a combination of incidents and life phases–sometimes moving in close to examine your life moment by moment, sometimes panning out to show the sweep of your life over a period of weeks or months? Will your autobiography include family anecdote? Memoirs of people and/or nature?
It’s your life. Have fun and tell your story well!
