Riverton, Utah—How to Interview Yourself for Your Life Story
You have stories in your head and heart that may seem miles away from words on a page. We will teach you interview techniques to use on yourself to get you talking—and no, you’re not crazy to do this! These same techniques can also be used to interview loved ones. We will talk about what makes a great interview, how to prepare, and how you can use some of the tools and methods for interviewing yourself. We will give you some ideas about what to do with your interview after you’ve spent those few moments “talking to yourself.”
