Answer 1

I recommend looking at memoirs NOT written by "famous" people. The rich and famous tend to get ghost writers and then claim the work for their own. The writing is poor and the only attraction to the story concerns a gossipy interest.

There are several writers who have short story collections or non-fiction books that are great reads. Try the first site for some logistical assistance.

The second site gives brief summaries of several different memoirs. Good luck--hope this helps!

Answer 2

i think you should start out by you telling someone your story... like some of the people you were talking about, and tell the story... end it with your favorite reaction you got from the people you told it to.
