OUR STORY 
In my search for a platform to share my stories with future generations, I scoured the internet but found nothing satisfactory. It baffled me that the rich and famous could grace the pages of Wikipedia while each of us harbors a life story that deserves to be told. This inspired me to create Mystories.Cloud, a place where everyone can preserve their life stories for generations to come.

TIPS AND TRICKS;
                                                  DON'T LET YOUR MEMORIES FADE AWAY!

Digitize Your Photos and Videos
Photos, video tapes, and old documents have a limited lifespan. Without proper preservation, they can deteriorate or be lost forever. To ensure your memories last a lifetime, it's essential to digitize them. When it comes to digitizing your memories, every effort counts. I've personally used iMemories.com to digitize most of my old videos. Alternatively, you can find a local company by searching Google with your zip code.

For photos and documents, I used my own scanner to digitize most of the content you see on my site, JeffEarlHerman.com. Once you've selected the photos that best tell your story, scanning and uploading them to your desktop is straightforward. I've even taken pictures of cherished items to include in my autobiography. There are numerous online photo enhancement services. I use Fotor photo editor to enhance old photos and clean up stock images for Chapter cover photos. Stock photos can significantly enhance your Chapter cover pages, making them more visually appealing. The internet is full of stock photos. You can search for high-resolution images of hiking, travel, or even recipes. For the highest quality photos, you can opt for premium services like Getty Images.

CREATING QUALITY COPY
Starting from the beginning is key when writing your autobiography or biography. Begin by asking yourself or your parents fundamental questions such as:

When and where were you born?
Who were your parents?
Did you have any siblings?
Where did you go to school?
Did you ever move?

A simple Google search for "100 questions to ask your parents" can provide a comprehensive list, ideally in chronological order, to guide your writing process. In my father-in-law’s case, I created my own list of questions and sent him home with a tape recorder. Over the next month, he recorded his memories at his leisure, providing me with the material needed to craft his biography at JosephCDilucido.jeffearlherman.com.
Additionally, I was able to include audio clips of him describing events in his own words, ensuring that his great-great-grandchildren can hear his stories directly from him.

Start by laying out the photos you plan to use. These visual prompts can guide and inspire your writing. Once your draft is ready, paste it into ChatGPT.com, and AI will refine and polish your copy, giving it the professional touch of a seasoned copywriter.
