4.0 out of 5 stars Memoir Writing Prompts
"Your Autobiograpy" by Ray Mungo
I was delighted to find Ray Mungo's out-of-print memoir-writing book through Amazon's used book dealers.
I'd used his prompts frequently several years ago and then lent it to a non-returning colleague.
What I liked about his prompts was the variety -- suggesting the juicy details,

1.0 out of 5 stars Your Autobiography: More than 300 Questions
I was very disappointed. In search of sample interview questions to interview children for a children's book series, I expected 300 questions. Instead, it was chapters and paragraphs.

This review is from: Your Autobiography: More Than 300 Questions to Help You Write Your Personal History (Paperback)
"Your Autobiograpy" by Ray Mungo
I was delighted to find Ray Mungo's out-of-print memoir-writing book through Amazon's used book dealers.
I'd used his prompts frequently several years ago and then lent it to a non-returning colleague.
What I liked about his prompts was the variety -- suggesting the juicy details,
then pulling back to the philosophical questions about our lives as we've lived them.
This approach encourages us to include the events, issues and details
that will make our writing sparkle with interesting characters and textures
that create the fabric of life. Now Ray Mungo is back in my library,
ready to help me with the "career" chapters that represent countless
hours and years of living, yet are absent in my story.
No more procrastination! No more excuses! Hit the computer and type the words!
