I'm so........ He's so......

Don’t write with an agenda. Don’t write how you want to be perceived. Write so your personality is apparent to the reader. The same goes for characters in your story. Write so their personalities are identifiable to the reader. Don't say, "He had a heart of gold." Instead tell of a some instances where the character was giving and unselfish. Come up with a list of words that describe you and the other characters in your memoir. Does your story show these characteristics?
