Personal Essay Writing Quick Jump Menu

In a personal essay, you as the narrator tell a story from your life and provide reflection by disclosing your current thoughts and feelings about the event. The reader expects to learn a bit of who you are as a fellow human being, and possibly may identify with something you say or a lesson you've learned. A well-written personal essay satisfies the author and entertains the reader.

If you would like to learn to write personal essays for your own benefit, for a legacy to your children or grandchildren, or for publication, select from the following options:

LifeJournal
I found a software program that allows you to maintain a confidential journal on your own computer. LifeJournal is a clever program that lets you journal and track your emotions and life events over time. Easy to install and intuitive to use.
