Memoirs

I did try to write mine but didn't get very far, as I hit a spot that I just couldn't get out of me and put into words. One day I may complete the job though. Why not publish your memoirs? I remember a few years ago here in the UK there was a spate of newly released books on the market where people were writing of their life story/memoirs. I read a few of them and found them very interesting.

I think that writing memoirs is a fantastic idea. I have started with small periods of time in my life before. I have always felt like I had gone through plenty to write one that others would want to read. However, I think that probably everyone thinks that. But I also think it's more important to write them for yourself..and maybe for your children. I could imagine reading my mother's memoir and it would be an incredible read. I guess that's what I really want to do. I want to write her story. She's been through enough to write ten books..or make a movie out of. But I cant get her to write about any of it. I need to get all the details out of her so I can write it for her... She's been through children dying to winning the lottery to abuse to having a nightmarishly cruel childhood... just crazy stuff. Now that I am thinking about it, I really want to start bugging her about it again. Great post! :)

I am thinking very seriously about writing my memoirs. I think they might be interesting, considering the things I have had to overcome in my life to get where I am. If you are intereste in publishing your memoirs, might I suggest self publishing? Just go to lulu.com. My husban and I sel published our books there. His are sci-fi novels, and mine is a cookbook.

I haven't started on mine..not in the near future anyway. Writing is not exactly my cup of tea. I hope you get to publish your memoirs. There are sites here that do accept materials like that for publication. I hope it doesn't make me cry, though. LOL

Publish them,why not.Every one can find them interesting and get something from your experiences

I was thinking about it a couple of years ago. Then I decided not to because it would be sad to see all of the books staying on the shelves. I couldn't live with that thought. I don't know if anyone would want to read it. I agree when you said it was liberating. I feel like that with most things that I write. But, something so personal? That terrifies me, the thought of having someone criticize my life or my work.
