Writing Your Life Story? Don’t Forget the Compelling Concept

Hi, my name is Christopher and I'm a professional script reader in Los Angeles and the founder of scriptxray.com.
Hi Chris, it's been awhile..
I just like to say that I totally agree with you. Although, we all write stories deriving from some point that we came across in our life experiences, most of the times it comes from the moments. I think experiences in real life are fascinating and usually this is where motivation and inspirations came from, but there's the danger of being personal.
For me, I like to just think about that moment of experience and then come up with something else to tell the story.
