Start by keeping track of important events and dates of your life such as, when you applied for your first job, the day you auditioned for a TV commercial, when your children entered school, or the day you got Rover. Next, to be extra organized, create a time line with brief descriptions of events. Ex: Allison was born today weighing 6lbs, 8oz. Then, when you actually create the autobiography, be more detailed like: My oldest daughter, Allison Marie Smith was born at 3:07am at St. John's Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas weighing 6lbs, 8oz. When you finish your time line, start your autobiography. You need to decide whether you will do your biography in the first person or third person. First person means you are talking about yourself, like this "I was born July 6th, 1952 to my parents Gretta and Micheal Freeman". If you do it in the third person, you would write it like this: "Anna J. Freeman was born on July 6th, 1952 to Gretta and Michael Freeman". Now, it's time to start writing. You may want to begin with when you were born, state your parents' names and also mention if you have any older siblings. Go on and write about early childhood, later childhood all the way into adulthood, or whatever age you are now at. Be sure to mention births, engagements, graduations, special memories, family deaths, celebrations and other important events in your life. When you have covered everything, end you autobiography with something like: "Annie Jones now lives in Malibu, California with her husband Joseph and daughters Reagan and Savannah." But if you are writing in first person, use words like I, me, my, our and we.

Remember: You should not switch narrations, from first to third in the same story. It can get confusing, and does not make sense.

Don't forget: Start a new paragraph for a new event or date.

Also: It may be a good idea to find pictures to go with some of your events, if anyone reads your biography, they will enjoy the pictures, and writing.

**If you prefer to only write about one or two events in your life, create a memoir instead.

Congratulations, you just wrote an autobiography!
