Famous or not, every one of us deals with hardships in life and does one thing or another to overcome them. You see, it’s in how you tell your life’s story that the inspiration lies, not necessarily in the popularity of it. Sure, such a person could have a great ability to inspire their fans and readers, but even an ordinary person is capable of it. There’s a tendency to believe that a biography, and more so an autobiography, is meant to be written by only a subject who’s a stellar performer in their career and highly popular for it.
Besides, no matter the discomfort you put yourself through whilst writing it, the minute your autobiography reaches the reader, it takes on the task of inspiring others. Sounds a tad uncomfortable, doesn’t it? And yet, it is this very genre of non-fiction that has one of the strongest readerships. You’ll not only delve into the nitty-gritty of your thoughts but also critique your own life in the process of penning it down. More so is the case with writing an autobiography. I’ve always felt that writing is an intimate activity neither the writer nor the reader misses the inner workings of the writer’s mind.
