It's a bit of a cheat, but if you can't face putting pen to paper - and let's face it, none of us really enjoyed writing essays or we probably wouldn't be here! - there are people who will do it for you on the basis of sitting down with you and talking over your life, what you've got up to etc. You talk, they listen and write, you approve and job done, book published. I believe they are often used by people wanting to pass a story down through the family, but I'm sure others have gone to print in a more commercial sense. I know we don't do advertising here, but I'm sure a quick search along the lines of 'we write your biography' would turn something up. And it'd be one heck of a read!
