When I am ready to write my autobiography, I should write it with a target audience in mind.  Who will read it? Why will they read it?  Even though I do not know what I will accomplish or how my life will roll out, I hope that my autobiography will help people overcome their problems.  The #1 target audience for my autobiography would be my loved ones, my future children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and even my siblings.  It would give them insights into how I lived, the world around me, or even how I, or someone close to me overcame certain problems.  I cannot say how many times I have wished some of my ancestors had written autobiographies.   If they had, all of their descendants would hugely benefit from it.  If my autobiography never gets past the hands of my loved ones that is okay, but I want to be sure to leave the legacy of an autobiography.
