As the baby-boomer generation ages, its members are looking ahead to the biggest challenge of all: making sense of life in its third act. Having the Last Say takes life review out of the realm of memoir writing and journaling--making the rich and timeless tradition of authentic storytelling accessible to those who have never considered themselves "writers." In creating "legacies" in the form of short personal narratives, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the people, actions, and events that have shaped your life and your values, and to share these stories with those who matter most. Gelb's reassuring and straightforward advice will help you every step of the way, from identifying an engaging topic to employing creative writing techniques to construct a compelling story"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Autobiography $x Authorship. 650 0 $a Storytelling. 650 0 $a Narration (Rhetoric). 650 0 $a Biography as a literary form. 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Composition & Creative Writing. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP / Aging. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / Happiness. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u 9780399174872.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722051409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A84D81A852411E5A48CCFF0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
