How To Tell A Great Story About Yourself by TheReadyWriters: 12:22pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
As easy as telling a story about yourself might appear especially if you feel you don’t need other sources of information, apart from you, telling a story about yourself can actually be challenging. This is because you have too much information and you might not know where to start from or what part to tell that people might connect with. However, like any other story you just have to focus on the interesting parts and do not be scared of becoming vulnerable. Perhaps you want to write a cover letter for a resume or even an autobiography or an academic essay, first think about the part of your life that can tell a great story and start with it. You don’t necessarily have to start from the beginning, you can start from the middle or even the ending if you like. Here are some other things to consider: Your Strengths: Perhaps the skills that you have that help you get things done Your Weaknesses: What are the things you are struggling with? You can use them to connect with your readers Your Interests: Things that you find fascinating Your Dislikes: Things you would rather not do The Theme: An area of your life you will like to write about such as; love, your profession or your family background The Plot: What part would you like to start your story from and how would it progress? After considering these things you can now write your story based on your considerations. Here are some writing tips to consider: • Read how other people had told their own story • Focus on the theme of your story • Tell how your story has improved your life • Tell your story at once • Review after you have written your first drafts • Give a friend to proofread • Then edit again Although telling a story about yourself might take time to master, you will get better at it after a few practices. |
