Interesting article Ericka! I could connect with it as I am at present working on my memoir. I loved that thought of considering ourselves as a villain in our story. Thanks for sharing this!

Hi, Ericka! Thank you for this clear explanation of memoir. I'm writing about my ten-year college journey while raising five children, the oldest being special needs and the impetus for my beginning college when I did. I began school at a community college and garnered awards and won a part-time scholarship to an Ivy League university. Truly appreciate your insight in this post. All best to you!

Thanks for giving me permission to complete one, if not more Memoirs that I have been incubating for years - and now will continue to edit thousands of words that have been pouring onto pages for many a year, as now it's as though I have been waiting for a green light to complete the stories that are only mine to tell! WITS has been a comfort in stormy weather. What a gift it would be to have you as my Editor. This is truly empowering, Ericka. From far away Melbourne Australia.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I did write one funny post on Instagram and Facebook last year about the time I might have been an unpaid extra in an 80s Nora Ephron movie set in NYC. I even had a lesser-known producer like my IG post. But, that's not a book. lol

In reply to Allison Hong Merrill. That's genius! I love that. We all need permission to write poor first drafts and take care of ourselves!
