I have finished a second novel that was published in April and have thought a lot about memoir, playing around with bits and pieces. I am following you now and will look forward to that. Love the Challenge, my 3rd year. My own reflection has opinions about what works and doesn't. I hope it will be of help to those who are at the beginning of their challenge experience.

But I do love a good story. And I usually enjoy memories, that are shared in an interesting way. So, I'm one of those folks who stopped by just once or twice and saved most of my reading for other things. I'm sure these kinds of post are a great service to anyone desiring to write, especially if they have not attained much experience yet.

My suggestion is to just occasionally write short essays about life events when they come to your mind--or at very least scribble notes about things you remember and your reactions to them. Often memoir is a gradual things that develops over time as the story begins to formulate within you.<br /><br />Thanks for staying with me in my blogging adventures.

It was a busy month for sure for all of you guys. I got some handy tips about memoirs from you too, but I'm not really much of a writer so I'm not sure how successful I will be. Or even if I can get my butt in gear to actually write anything. A couple of years ago one of my friends asked me to blog about my experiences with the Dead. That was so overwhelming that I had to break it up into multiple posts and at that it was still too overwhelming so the four posts I've done have been languishing in my drafts since early 2013, and there needs to be at least 2-3 more posts after those.
