Brief personal narratives, life highlights, or memoirs Narratives are another form of personal history. These narratives document memorable events. The narratives are usually brief and often take only a few minutes to write. Many people find it helpful to set aside a set time each week to write a narrative. For example, one woman spends an hour writing each Sunday afternoon while her young children take a nap. During each session she writes two or three short narratives. These narratives can later be polished and compiled into a longer history. | '''Brief personal narratives, life highlights, or memoirs '''Narratives are another form of personal history.

Appendix A of this lesson gives a list of subjects for personal narratives. You do not need to limit yourself to these topics. They may remind you of other events that you might want to write about as well. | Appendix A of this lesson gives a list of subjects for personal narratives.
