Description:

Think of "firsts" in your life. I debated on narrowing down what type of firsts because it could be about so many things. First house, first love, first car, first marriage, first day of school.... And on and on, good firsts and bad ones. There are probably many different ones you'd like to write about. So I think we'll repeat this description in the future.

For this swap, I'll let you choose your own "first". As you write about it, try to be as specific and detailed as you can. Bring out that emotion and how it came about and what were the results.

I hope you enjoy this one. If you haven't done one of these before, please don't be shy!

DETAILS: Since this is for your autobiography or memoirs, try to make it more of a story than a journal entry. Work this any way you like. Remember it's just for fun. Getting some feedback from your partners might be helpful, but it's not the main point. Just writing and exercising your creative muscle is.All level and type of writers welcome. No more than 5000 words. Snail mail. 2 partners. Receiving partner, please maintain confidentiality and kindness.

"Firsts" made me think of "seconds". How about making "second chances" one of the future life story themes...?

I like that idea about second chances, Merimax...it makes me, personally, think of second career opportunities.

I wanted to say, to Andrea, that I really appreciate your commitment to this ongoing series. It's helping me get going on writing my autobiography! =smile=

With no computer for 2 weeks I missed this, sorry :-(

AngelFaeryKathleen-- we've missed you too. I hope after all the troubles in your life recently, you're doing okay and taking care of yourself.

Merimax, I like the idea of seconds too! Coming up, soon!

Mulusina, it's been a good push for me too. thank you all for doing this. Remember, I'll put each month's theme up in the forum so that you can catch up anytime you want. (I'm behind at the moment, but will do soon.)
