Summary
Memoirists face a unique challenge: our lives offer endless beginnings, but endings can be elusive. Your memoir’s bookends aren’t determined by your lifespan—they’re defined by the arc of the topic you’re exploring and the transformation it brings. But what if you’re still living through the final chapters? Today’s conversation digs into how to choose your starting point, how to think about endings that haven’t arrived, and how to begin writing your memoir right now, even if the resolution is still ahead of you.🔗 You've got the story. You've got the idea. You just don't know the steps in the process. If this is what's holding your memoir back, I have got the solution for you. The memoir method checklist is going to take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book.
