Post #43 – Women’s Memoirs, Author Conversations – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
Yesterday’s blog introduced our author conversation with Linda Joy Myers. She answered the question about handling the dark moments in our memoir writing. If you check the comments section of that Women’s Memoirs blog, you’ll find a good discussion of the issue. We invite you to post you comments in today’s blog. Linda Joy has graciously agreed to respond to your comments.
In today’s audio, we move on to a question asked by Renee Cassese about writing memoirs that focus on our adult mistakes. Drawing on her experience as a therapist and the work she did in writing her own memoir, Linda Joy responds with insights that may be useful to you.
