Plan an Essay

Draft an Essay
- As you are writing about yourself, use the first-person narration. Besides, personal texts gain more popularity than third-person narrations. You can write your autobiography in the third person only if you are writing some fiction. In that case, it would be appropriate.
- Speaking of fiction. Have you noticed one very important writing technique? The first sentence is the most important. It has to be very interesting, intriguing, thrilling so the reader would want to finish a story.
- Narrating only events is not quite good. You should describe setting, and try to be as precise as possible. It will help imagine the environment of that moment.
- Fine, you are done with an introduction. Now you have to move on to a very story. And the move has to be smooth too. And intriguing. In fact, an autobiography essay is like a short story. You always have to keep the reader involved.
- We won’t advise much here. You just tell your story. And end it with a conclusion. Because every story has to be concluded somehow.
Enhance an Essay
- No matter how good your essay is, you can always make it better with our help. Try to include vivid details. It will make the picture much clearer and brighter. You should also add some dialogues. They will make a story lively.
- Everything that is connected with a biography has to be in a chronological order. But you can use some fiction technique and break that order. When you smartly jump from one moment to another, it can bring more intrigue to a story.
- Last but not least. Do not try to show yourself better than you are. Just be yourself.
