Why guys?

Yes, almost anything can be interesting if the delivery is there. I mean, look at Karl Ove Knausgaard.

"No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure."

>and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure

Well there goes my life story

Yes. There are events in my life that seem almost unreal to me. The time I got into a fight and someone tore all the skin off my back in the Dominican Republic would make for at least a good short story

Yes and no.

I've done some interesting shit -- walked the Grand Traverse, the Tongariro Crossing, around Lake Waikaremoana, been dog-sledding.

Spent years doing absolutely nothing.

Could write an awesome autobiography about that time I was committed for nine months.

oh yes ...many lives lived in one ,you would cry your fucking eyes out but ultimately be perplexed why him ...

Some parts yeah but it makes better inspiration than subject

Not yet. I've had an interesting life, and people who know my life find it somewhat tragic in a first world way, but I'd need to wait it out a bit because the spiral hasn't stopped going down quite yet, and no one wants an ending like that.

In any accurate retelling? Not at all. As the basis for something that's highly embellished? Maybe.

That's a good question, isn't it? Not me, that's who.

My life might be interesting from the family side of things and just how fucked up my childhood was. But either than that it was just me playing video games but until I was 21.

If even the "great" people of this world have the need to lie and exaggerate in their biographies, why would I think that my life would make a great story?

>>8516280
Not yet. My life so far has either been a drumrole for a happy dramatic ending or for a crushing tragedy. Either way I'll have to wait a decade or so to know. The suspense is killing me.

If you aren't writing and defining the arc of your life's trajectory yourself... But sure, keep waiting.
