Autobiolibrary

A very important and ongoing project for our M.O.B community is our effort to collect, archive and encourage the autobiographical stories of people in our community and, eventually, everywhere.  In a technologically influenced society, we are losing the will to write and record our most important and personal views of the world and our environment.  It has always been these personalized accounts of the average person, the story not controlled by editorial criticism, that allows us to learn and grow as a society and as people.
  We have prepared a simple form for you to begin your autobiographical journey.  No matter your age or writing level, we encourage you to reflect and record the lessons, observations, solutions, loves, losses and wisdoms of your life's story.
  We've made it easy to do.  You can either create your own blog and we will post it, or simply type and send in pdf attachment to M.O.B (myownbackyardcommunity@gmail.com) and we will post your installments on our blog.  These can be anonymous or titled.  As M.O.B continues to grow, we will develop new ways to present these autobiographical texts.  We are looking for new formats, better archiving methods, ways to allow you to update and edit, and even opportunities for podcasting (which will come when we launch a hosted website.)

Please take a moment to visit our wordpress at:  www.autobiolibrary.wordpress.com
You will find there a template to help you begin.

These will not be edited or changed.

Please include a statement stating we have permission to post your writing in your e-mail.
