What is Legacy Library?

Legacy Library is a place where you get to share your stories with everyone. They may be funny stories, sad stories, adventure stories, stories of challenge, or stories of triumph. If it is important enough for you to write about it, then we want to hear about it.

Every story that you submit is viewable from inside your members profile and begins to paint a picture about you and your life. For years to come, people from all around the world, including friends and family, will be able to laugh with you, cry with you, and most importantly, connect with you. If your life is worth living, then its worth recording. Join us and start immortalizing those memories today. click here to sign up and begin writing today!

Why should I write about myself?

Everyone has their own reasons for sharing their stories and is often governed by age and/or situation. Many people enjoy the writing itself, as it offers them a chance to relive the moments all over again and allows a sense of clarity when put into words. Others simply share an important moment to share the emotion of the occasion, and others share because they feel their story needs to be told. The one thing that Legacy Library offers is that the story will be remembered and will be shared with anyone and everyone eager to read it.

Who would want to read about my life?

So often people ask this question, thinking in their mind that their life may be uninteresting to others because everyone around them has such a similar life. What makes my life so special that its worth writing about? Firstly, your life is NOT like everyone else's, and even if it was, no-one else can write it from your perspective and in your words. We all live in the same world, yet we all see it through our own eyes and from our own perspective. So often it takes something we already know to be explained from someone else's perspective and in their own words for us to truly see what is in front of us.

Secondly, there are so many people in so many situations around the world, that what seems ordinary to you may be a dream come true for so many others. "Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi." A Quote by Oprah Winfrey. There are always people who are less fortunate than ourselves and it may be your story that opens their eyes to a better world and inspires them to change their lives starting today. Your story could be your gift to them, your legacy to all.

Thirdly, people may just wish to connect with you. They may be friends, family, great great grandkids wanting to know where they came from, or maybe just someone wanting to share a laugh, or a tear with you. The important thing is to get your story out there.

What do I write about?

The quick answer is 'Anything that is important to you!'. Anything from 'life changing moments' to 'something funny that happened to me today'. Its up to you. For more ideas on what to write, Legacy Library has a number of prompting questions to get you thinking, or you can sign up to get our weekly list of fun questions that can be used to write stories about. The most important thing is to have fun!

What if writing is not one of my strengths?

Don't worry. Like most things, skills come with practice, so sign-up today and start practicing. Start with some short stories about something you are more confident about and build up from there. The good thing about Legacy Library is that you are not trying to write a whole book (or autobiography). Your stories can be as big or as small as you feel comfortable with. It is completely up to you.
