Thanks so much. I am a newbie, writing my first memoir, so this helped me immensely.

In reply to MM Finck. Thank you so much. I am very green. I just decided to get serious about writing the Memoir I always knew I would write, 3 months ago. I write every day and keep moving forward although yesterday was one of those awful, painful gutwrenching days. I was uncovering some painful shit! It was like a bad root canal, but I got through it. Yay me! I have to be my own cheerleader most days because it can get so lonely. Thankyou again.

Oh, struggling through a rewrite. How I have been there! But good for us, right? Rewriting is what separates the hobbyist from the professional. I’m so glad that you found this article at the right time for you. I wrote it very organically when I needed it too, very badly, and it helped. I hope the words are pouring out of you now. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. The point of sharing my experiences is foremost to help others, but interacting with said ‘others’ is what makes it rewarding (and fun.) 🙂

Julie. That’s perfect. I’m so glad for you. I LOVE that when I hear words strung together somewhere that perfectly articulate something I’ve been sensing for a long time but didn’t have the words for. We should all do what feels good, right? Geez, what else is there? (I don’t mean hedonistically. 🙂 Charity feels good. Writing feels good. Prioritizing loved ones feels good.) Have fun writing and then have fun sharing!

MM- I loved reading this–it’s so dead-on. And perfect timing, since I’m in the midst of struggling through a rewrite and battling to keep faith. Thanks for the excellent advice!

thank you for the words of encouragement it’s so difficult to believe enough to write the first line but when you said writing heals those words spoke to me because for me it always has I just hadn’t realised it. So I am going to write because it makes me feel good and perhaps it will make other feel good too.
