    10 TIPS IN WRITING ABOUT LIFE

    Based on the essay of Ma. Elena Paulma, we can see a Memoir type as well as a
    personal essay type of creative non-fiction. As what I have researched, a Memoir is a
    long piece of creative non-fiction that delves deep into a writer’s personal experience, and
    the Personal Essay focuses on a topic through the lens of the personal experience of the
    narrator. It can tell a story in a traditional way. So, let me continue my explanation in a
    blog post way entitled, “The 10 Tips in Writing About Life”.

    1. Apply memories to activate.

    This one seems wonderful but in writing an essay about life, we have to think
    about some concrete matters that could set off our mind in flowing. We must have
    to look for some thing that ought to carry again the old recollections such as albums,
    childhood videos, old letters,yearbooks,and whatever that could make as be
    aware our adolescence days.

    2. Be exact with your mood.


    In this part also, we ought to be unique on the way we think. Be in contact with
    your mood. If you assume that these days is your worst day and you are planning to
    write, don’t you ever attempt writing your blissful memories. Save that section for the
    day when you suppose you wake up on a true mood. If that area of your essay is
    peaceful, why not go to a peaceful putting to have a peaceful mindset. And if it is
    wild, go to a bar or any loud places.

    3. Review the setting.


    This may be a much less comparable to the second tip however this one
    is applied to the exterior content of your mind. For an instance, think about that your
    essay is about your soccer game that you have won, recollect that reminiscence with
    the aid of doing it once more like enjoying soccer and you have to win over it for
    you ought to bring returned the historical instances around. Through that process,
    you can write your essay properly.

    4. Organize your memory.


    This is now not actually organizing your reminiscences from the day you had
    been born up to the final memory you choose to write on your essay, but, this tip
    can also help the author itself. Here, I’m just speaking about organizing
    the people whose part of your milestone such as your friends, family, school, and
    work. Label every one of them the turning factor of your reminiscences with them so
    that the concept will be now not confusing.

    5. Concentrate on the perspicuous.


    There are memories that are blurry, uncertain, cheerless and confusing. Yet,
    there are some that still continue to be in our minds. Just focus on
    the different reminiscence and grab your attention that can make
    you decide a short detail of your life. After that, just describe what
    you experience or want at some point of these days.

    6. Do not include childhood memories.


    This doesn’t mean the true childhood you have whereas do no
    longer include the unnecessary ones such as your first stroll or talk, lying on a crib
    doing nothing, etc. because it may want to reduce the credibility or
    in more comprehension, will takes away the believe of your reader.

    7. Do analysis or interview.
    Do not be overconfident with your memories. Maybe behavior an interview to
    your dad and mom or different people who knows about you. You need
    to want their thoughts or simply contemplate your self as you write it. Then, describe
    as you completely take into account those recollections you gathered.

    8. Apply your senses.


    In reminiscing, it is no longer just looking to the picture or reading letters.
    Remembering something is to live once more the movements, the way we breathe,
    and of direction our senses all through those days. Those senses are now
    not just the idea to our reminiscences yet this is useful for us that it can join to our
    readers.

    9. There’s still time for diaries.


    This tip is just for the future if you desire to write. Just list your experiences so that
    the subsequent essay will be much less tough to remember.

    10. Be honest

    Honesty is a state of being completely truthful with yourself, your family,


    friends, your colleagues at work and other people you come into contact with in
    your everyday life. It's extremely important to be honest.
