Zero to Sixty in One Year: An Easy Month-by-Month Guide to Writing Your Life Story

by Risa Nye

Overview

In this book, author Risa Nye doesn't tell you how to write your life story--she shows you how she did it, and takes you through the easy-to-manage strategy she cooked up for her year-long blog experiment, Zero to Sixty in One Year. By breaking it all down into manageable sections, with examples from each of her six decades of stories, she takes the anxiety out of starting off with a blank page or screen. With tips on getting started, a variety of ways to refresh your memory, and those peeks into her blog, Risa invites you to begin writing your life story.
