Summary

This episode is for that writer who gives caveats. You know who you are. “Oh yeah, I’m writing a memoir, BUT I’m not a real writer yet.” Or, “I don’t know, I just like writing I guess. I don’t know if anyone would want to read it.” I have met with so many of you who lead like this. And I’m going to be very direct today: Stop it! Today’s episode is intended as a gentle callout to all of you listening who have a hard time taking yourself seriously as a memoir writer, because the truth is that if you don’t take yourself seriously first, no one else will either.  Access this free resource, The Magnetic Memoir Prompt Pack and start taking yourself seriously as a memoir writer.
