I’m writing a memoir at the moment and I’ve been told it’s too raw and it’s going to put people off reading it. Also the process of writing it down has been more painful than I anticipated. I thought that once I’d finished I’d get some releif but I’m loving it all over again. I just have to get to the end now. Thank you Sara

I’ve found my memoir writing to be transformative, too. I thought I had learned all my life lessons after I went through my saga–my young son’s rumble with a brain tumor–but it’s the writing now, 20 years later, that is teaching me so much about myself. It’s more painful, but cheaper than therapy. If I ever try my hand at fiction, I know this experience will inform every word.
