Remembering the Day When...

Words to Write by

Your memoir is about you (obviously) but it’s not just about you. In this episode we cover Judith Barrington’s chapter on how (and why) to bring events from the real world into your memoir. And in our writing exercise we try it out by remembering our own lives during a moment in history.

Then it’s on to the penultimate chapter in Writing the Memoir where Barrington has some writer self-care advice. Who can disagree about self care? Well…

Also in this episode Kim interviews a poet who left the Plain community about how she navigates revealing true details when writing about her experiences from that time.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
