If you wrote your own would you be totally honest ?

Or would you gloss over the " bad " bits or blame someone else. Would you convienently forget the wrongs you did or would you add them.

Do you believe all you hear from others that are in print ?

Hi Uzzi, i think that it would be more interesting to include all bits both good and bad, although i wouldnt want to upset my family by writing things that involve them

I am sure not all autobiographies are honest....some because the people are too vein....others coz they are too boring lol

Well as ya know Jac ive done a user friendly version of mine so far which was more for writing practice.

But should I get the urge to do a serious autobiographical version it would have everything good bad and ugly cos no matter if people would judge some things in my life, it is what has made me who I am :)

Muffy I think we all believe in some of what we read, or why read any of it but I do think most is just being polite

Hi Uzzi,

Thats a difficult question. I would feel I would have to be honest, if I wasnt I wouldnt be true to myself.

No I dont believe a lot of what I read.

How are you?

uzzi there is nothing to 'not' include in an autobiography, my childhood was crap, believe me it would all go into book.

Caz hun I am well a bit waterlogged ( for a change ) hows you ?
I know you would be honest but would you miss out bits ?

Gill you are lucky in the sense there is nothing to exclude. I am sorry your childhood was crap though that is not lucky.
