Writing Challenge Day 222: Reviewing Your Stories (Day 1)

If you started with us at the beginning, you've been writing your life stories for the better part of a year. Now it's time to assess what you've written and begin to put it together into a narrative. From this point on, we will be giving you weekly assignments and tips to help along the way.

If you've recently joined us, you may want to build up a few more stories before you begin this part of the challenge. You can always come back to these posts when you are ready. To continue your daily writing, pick something else from the archive, this question list, or write more on something you wrote earlier. For more information about the challenge, read this post.

TODAY'S 15-MINUTE CHALLENGE

Today, you will get ready to review the stories you have written over the past months. Gather your writings together if they are spread across your digital devices or on scraps of paper. (If you have digitally recorded your stories, or written them in longhand, this would be a good time to have them transcribed into an editable text document.)

  • Take these assignments at your own pace. They are meant only to get you started and to give you a step-by-step process. Depending on how much you have already written, it may take you longer to complete each section.
  • If you want to keep going after the 15 minutes are up, go for it!
