Baring one's soul in a memoir is hard work. Convincing others to care, to engage in your life story may be even harder. In her book, Writing the Memoir, Judith Barrington says the first step is getting ourselves to care about our memoir. In this podcast we discuss both her philosophical reasoning and practical advice.
In this week's writing exercise, Kim tries to come up with what her memoir should be about.Iit does not go well. Thankfully Renee is there to pep-talk Kim off the edge. Fun times!
Plus we have two short interviews with memoirists, Marlene Bumgarner and Janice P. Kehler, about how they included self analysis and judgement in their memoirs.
Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
