Along the way, Zinsser pauses to explain the technical decisions he made as he wrote about his life. They are the same decisions you'll have to make as you write about your own life: matters of selection, condensation, focus, attitude, voice, and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Zinsser\u003c\/b\u003e began his career with the \u003ci\u003eNew York Herald Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e and wrote regularly for leading magazines.
