I'm just curious if anyone is working on a memoir or has published one? A memoir is about a certain time in your life unlike a biography or autiobiograhy which is about your whole life written by you or someone else. I am working on a memoir about my former job for 4 years working at a bookstore. I am just curious on how you think about things you forgot and brainstorm ideas? Or any other things? Trust me NOT easy but tons of fun to do this! Well hope to hear from anyone soon :))

I already finished one. It is entitled "Confessions of A Cheerleader". It is basicall about my life. Sure, its kind of hard to write about your life and it's not that easy to recall happenings or events in your life, but it's fun, really fun!

Hard to write memoirs tho,hard to remeber the times when we were kids,its difficult to get the memory back that far,but I wish you good luck.I have only ever written some short stories some of which I sent into different magazines,but as yet not one of them has been accepted,but they say its really hard to break into that sort of writing.I suppose if I got hissed off enough I could do the vanity writing bit lol ,but thats for the desperate,and ive not reached that stage as yet.

A professor from my school encouraged me to donate the book to our school library.
