Episode notes
Memoir as Self-Discovery
- Write memoir to explore self-discovery and process experiences.
- Focus on your "transcendent change," the shift in understanding or perspective.
Sharing Humanity
- Readers connect with shared humanity in memoirs, not just events.
- Focus on the emotional journey and lessons learned, not a chronological autobiography.
Focus on Expertise
- Focus on one area of expertise at a time to avoid an overwhelming autobiography.
- Explore smaller, specific changes or lessons learned from life experiences.
