If you started with us at the beginning, you've been writing your life stories for the better part of a year. Now it's time to assess what you've written and begin to put it together into a narrative. From this point on, we will be giving you weekly assignments and tips to help along the way.
If you've recently joined us, you may want to build up a few more stories before you begin this part of the challenge. You can always come back to these posts when you are ready. To continue your daily writing, pick something else from the archive, this question list, or write more on something you wrote earlier. For more information about the challenge, read this post.
TODAY'S 15-MINUTE CHALLENGE
Write about these three questions:
1) What do you hope to accomplish by writing your stories? (Purpose)
2) Who are you writing it for? Who do you hope will read it? (Audience)
3) What time period or theme of your life do you want to cover? (Scope)
For more about writing a purpose statement, see this post.

- If you want to keep going after the 15 minutes are up, go for it!
