REMEMBER MORE THAN ENOUGH TO WRITE YOUR MEMOIR?

You remember the feelings but you are not sure of the facts and dates. Do you make it up! NO! You use Memoir Writing Plans to remember more details and dates than you had ever thought possible. These are more than mere writing prompts: they are penetrating questions that will dislodge memories from the unconscious.

In Memoir Writing Plans, you will understand how you can organize your memories so that they make more sense. Memoir Writing Plans will help you generate the structure of your memoir.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS BOOK

In Memoir Writing Plans / 4 Steps to Finding Your Way on Your Writing Journey, you'll learn how to apply a number of techniques and practices to get you remembering your story in detail—your writing will not only be more accurate but it will be more interesting.

You will learn:
•You should not censor your memories as you write them down

•Why trying to remember chronologically is not the best choice

•How to identify your core memories

•How to create life energy lists

•Why life energy lists will make writing chapters easy

These and more practices to remember more and better will get your memoir going. The part you will probably appreciate the most: you will always have something to write about.

YOU CAN LEARN TO WRITE FROM THE INSIDE OUTI believe in the power of telling our personal and family stories. These are our hero's journeys, and by telling them we honor ourselves and the people we have come from. An important early task for the writer is go inside and find the story that is worth telling. The story is not about "nice" words; it is about honest words, visceral words.LIFESTORIES FEED USStories have always played an important role in my life. I grew up in a three-generation home with paternal grandparents who lived upstairs. I heard tales of my extended family and their history recounted by the family storyteller, my grandmother Ledoux. These stories were a food for my soul. I could not get enough of them, and her gift to me was that she was a voluble, entertaining storyteller.I began writing as a short-story writer, drawing on family characters, settings, and stories for my fiction. In 1989, I won the Maine Fiction Award for Mountain Dance & Other Stories. My other titles include What Became of Them and Other Stories from Franco-America (1988), and Lives in Translation: An Anthology of Contemporary Franco-American Writings (which I edited in 1990). In 1992, I published (and it is still in print) Turning Memories Into Memoirs / A Handbook for Writing Lifestories; in 1996, The Photo Scribe / How to Tell the Stories Behind Your Photos; in 2009, The Consumer's Guide to Ghostwriting, in 2013, a memoir—We Were Not Spoiled. E-publication includes the books listed here in Smashwords as well as others.MAKING THE LEAP TO BECOMING A MEMOIR PROFESSIONALIt was a natural leap from my own family stories to helping others to record their stories in well-written accounts that apply all the techniques of fiction writing to autobiography, family reminiscence, and scrapbooking.In 1996, I was honored as Lifewriting Professional of the Year by the Association of Personal Historians.THE MEMOIR NETWORKToday, I continue to work as a writer, educator, teacher, autobiography co-author, memoir-writing coach, editor and publisher. I direct The Memoir Network, an international group of lifestory writing teachers who use my method and materials to lead the popular Turning Memories® and Photo Scribe® workshops and programs.My Memoir Network offers Memoir Professional Packages for individuals wishing to do what we call memoir work in their communities.
