Creative ways to introduce a narrative autobiography?

Question

i want to start my autobiography with something other than "my name is..." or "I was born on..." etc.

Answer 1

Give your feelings on writing this autobiography. I find as many memoirs start this way, it would be appropriate.

Ex. Upon being asked to write this autobiography, a sense of fear and dread overcame me. I was in over my head, so I went to Yahoo answers... etc.

Another way to introduce your narrative would be to start in third person, and slowly iterate the fact that it's yourself you speak about. The end of your introduction can be as cliche as you want, just as long as you revert to first person narrative. This would be a bit more difficult to do, but would certainly impress.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Some years and some months ago I was brought into this world.

You can describe yourself first.

I love to do this. I am this kind of person. My favorite something is something. etc etc. I live here and my hobby is this. this is my life. Oh, by the way, my name is ___.

people like to call me ___, but really, my actual name is __.
