If our life stories could be written down as time elements in a book would years be chapters, months be paragraphs, days be sentences, and hours be words? Or maybe decades would be chapters, years would be paragraphs, months sentences, and days words? If it was in years there would be a lot of chapters and how would we describe the chapters? Maybe if decades were used the chapters could be like "the beginning", "the teen years", "the twenties", etc. etc...or maybe I was born, I grew up, I got educated, fucked up, found a job, got married, had kids, worked, and grew old...could be one book that goes like this about a dude in his sixties...
Chapter 1
I Was Born
Don't remember much until about halfway through and then its still sketchy
Chapter 2
The Teen Years
Learned about sex, remember a little about high school, and gets sketchier as years go along due to smoking too much weed
Chapter 3
The Twenties
Some fucked up shit happened early and then don't remember much due to drinking too much
Chapter 4
The Thirties
Had to get straight from the teen years and twenties..
Chapter 5
The Forties
Got a real job so I could pay back Uncle Sam all the tax money I owed him
Chapter 6
The Fifties
My first credit card wow! Also my 3rd marriage?
Chapter 7
The Sixties
more to be revealed... better start watching what I eat and exercising if I want to write another chapter
Chapter 8
The Seventies
Hope I make it weed will be legal!
Chapter 9
The Eighties
Maybe the end? Hang in there old dude!
Chapter 10
The Nineties
Most likely the end...but hey maybe all that yoga and juicing in chapter 7 worked?
Chapter 11
The Hundreds
Where the hell am I.. and who are you?
Ok so anyway that's just one example of a life written as a book outline. This one is definitely a keep it simple stupid one..it could be much more detailed if this person had only paid a little better attention. I am certain that some people could write a novel about their life but most lives can easily be summed up in a few words. There is no moral, its just a story.
Keep writing your book!!
