About This Course

Writing exercises to build your confidence and ignite your memory enabling you to start writing a memoir

Kick start your memoir - writing exercises

This course has been designed to take you on a journey through various memories to help you to find the slice of life that you may want to share.

It isn't a how-to-write a memoir. It is a kickstart. A kick start that will help you to later plan, outline, write, edit and publish your book.

The course is split into what I call the chapters of your life. Each invites you to explore your life, and has a teaching point and some writing exercises.

Writing about your life is a way to make sense of your life, it helps you to heal and it is an amazing way to leave behind a legacy - your legacy.

Memoir lets you share your stories, in a way that lets others see what you went through (good or not so good), shows who you are and says 'maybe I can help you, maybe you can learn from me."

That feels good, doesn't it?

To get you started I have some great memoir writing exercises.  Once you start to pull all of these together you will be on your way to your first memoir.

This course has loads of writing exercises for writing a memoir:

  • Ten chapters of your life

  • Lots of writing exercises to kick start your memory and your writing

Take your time and enjoy this adventure through your life. You will be pleased that you did when you come to write your story.

Take this course right now and soon you will be on your way to writing a  memoir.


  • Unlock hidden memories

  • Ignite your passion for writing

  • Kick start your memoir

It was inspiring and I must admit I did not want to write a memoir when I first purchased it. I didn't know what a memoir was. Now I have a topic to write about.

Great match, it reflects my daily habits and how I like to do things “blocks” and setting timers etc.

Writing a book has been a request by so many people both professionally and by friends. My son is my biggest encourager and it has been his consistent encouragement that has led to to this course. Some how a memoir is easier for me to contemplate than writing a book. This lecture and chat so far has me inspired and excited.

Dale surprised me with the first book exercise. I grabbed the pens/colouring aids and started scribbling. The first working ideas came together so easily! I discovered my "What?" was really my "Why?" and things fell into place so easily. Excited about the next lessons.
