How to Write Your Life Stories

Lesson 2:  General Writing Aids

Although you can still be a capable writer if you occasionally mix up “I” and “me,” grammar problems can inhibit your creativity. It’s like trying to be a sculptor without a chisel, knife, or paper maché. Think of grammar as the tools that allow you to build your story.

What’s more, poor command of English grammar, vocabulary, syntax, et al can be a warning sign to editors that you lack professionalism and to readers that you lack credibility or precision. Identify your weak spots and work on them.

Here’s your chance to do just that—improve your writing, one step at a time. In this second lesson, author Steve Boga challenges your understanding of writing aids and techniques such as metaphor, simile, and alliteration.

The questions and answers are drawn from Boga's recently published book, How to Write Your Life Stories: Memoirs that People Want to Read.  You can find it at

The course will interest everyone with the will and courage to write their memoirs.
