craft of memoir writing

ScrapMoir: Regular blogger Bettyann Schmidt returns with a story of telling it “like it was.” Too often in our memoir writing and in our scrapbooking, we show the story of how normal our lives are — the children’s birthday parties, the family gatherings, the vacations. It’s easy to leave out the trip weeks before the divorce, the childhood illnesses, the stories of being snubbed at a holiday party. But as Bettyann says, these are part of our story too and deserve to be captured just as much as the carefree happy moments. Read how Bettyann takes you through the process of connecting memories. This is a valuable blog to read and re-read often.
