I came across an interesting post by Crystal Otto called
Leggings and Memoirs. She mentions this book How to Become a Heroic Writer By Jerry Waxler. I find it interesting and it sounds like it will help me write my memoirs without fear of hurting anyone. Crystal said to have confidence and write what you please. When you write what you please, it works better than trying to please others. This is true in life itself. I commented on her post:
Thank you, Crystal. This post has reassured me. I like that you
said, "...so just please yourself!" I, we, are more, so much more, than
our leggings. I will continue to wear whatever I please, and I will
continue to write whatever I please. We all have a story to tell. Once, a
counselor told me to write down my feelings no matter how awkward,
silly, or stupid I think it sounds. At the end of the week we went over
my journal of feelings. I never knew all that stuff she pointed out
about me. That exercise of writing helped me to get in touch with my
feelings and get to know me. I will enjoy reading and learning How to
Become a Heroic Writer by Jerry Waxler. I enjoyed this post. Thank you
for the helpful advise.
