Let’s just get this out of the way: the world is overflowing with memoirs. Every bookstore, every online retailer, every garage sale is drowning in them. You can’t turn around without bumping into another “heartfelt” story about someone overcoming adversity or, heaven forbid, discovering themselves. Enough is enough. However…perhaps you do have a compelling story that you need to share with the world—not because you need to fix everyone else with a similar problem, and certainly not because you just need to vent—but because your story is entertaining, compelling and adds value to the vast sea of literature out there. Then, you should consider writing a memoir.
I had a fascinating slice of life in my past that seemed endlessly entertaining to everyone who knew about it. I was often peppered with questions. So, I decided to write a memoir about that interesting aspect of my life. In the process, I learned more than a thing or two. In this episode of WRITE. FIX. REPEAT. I’m sharing five tips that might help you with yours.
