by Paul Spencer Sochaczewski (Author)
Your hero's journey can take many forms. Perhaps you met your soulmate at a cooking class in Tuscany and now make fresh pasta every evening -- you're 40 kilos overweight but happy. You took your eight-year-old daughter to the lake where your parents took you as a child -- she caught her first fish. Or maybe you want to record your family's history. How Grandfather Ishmael escaped Lithuania hours before he was to be arrested for horse theft, how Grandma Chen left China penniless, then through hard work and a deft touch at the mahjong table, became one of Singapore's leading real estate tycoons.
Perhaps you aren't too sure how to start your story, how to focus, how to make it interesting for other people.
