150 Life Story Questions - Free Download

December 31, 2016 Alison Taylor
Thinking of writing a memoir or personal history? Or do you want to interview a loved one about their life? Here are 150 questions to jump-start the process.

Thinking of writing a memoir or personal history? Or do you want to interview a loved one about their life? Here are 150 questions to jump-start the process.

150 Life Story Questions - Free e-book

In February 2016, we launched a Daily Writing Challenge to encourage everyone to begin a daily habit of writing, for at least 15 minutes a day. The goal was to have a collection of stories about your life (or that of a loved one) in rough form by the end of 2016.

If you missed out on the Daily Writing Challenge, here is the self-guided version in a handy free e-book now available for download.  It's pretty simple: every day, pick a question and write about it for 15 minutes (or more if you have time). You can view the e-book on your iPad, computer, or other device, or you can print it (we left room for writing on each page).

If you signed up for the Daily Writing Challenge last year but didn't manage to write every day (believe me, we know how LIFE gets in the way sometimes, and yeah, we didn't write every single day either!), you can use these questions to jump-start your writing or start fresh.

GOAL for 2017 - complete a memoir or personal history

This year, we're starting a new challenge: a 12-month plan to complete a life highlights project in time for the 2017 holidays. Stay tuned for more info!
