I love that you knew you could do it and dove right in. I don't write fiction AT ALL and have no stories in my head or anything like that. I think that is a gift all unto itself. I enjoyed reading how you decided to do this!Michael Annhttp://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-62898753387821485012011-08-03T00:15:02.669-04:002011-08-03T00:15:02.669-04:00Thank you Nancy for stopping by to visit.

I am glad you enjoyed Rebecca's Interview; I adore her also and her novel was fabulous.<br />I was told to always remember as I was writing my memoir, that a memoir is a look in the window at a certain time of your life. A life changing event. Anything more then that becomes autobiography. Anyway; my book will be released soon and as it is the story of the murder of my younger brother; I was a bit nervous and did much research on what not to say as far as murderers are concerned. [broke my heart because I would have liked to say a lot more.] So while I was worried about murderers my very own relatives, 2 of them have decided after knowing for 5 years of the book, they do not like the idea now. I do not think there is anything they can do but still I'm crushed. I want to write fiction!Doreenhttp://www.doreenmcgettigan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-64138749137749611162011-08-02T13:21:37.932-04:002011-08-02T13:21:37.932-04:00I have an exotic family but I am missing some fact...I have an exotic family but I am missing some facts. I tell their stories, but I think of these stories as 'spanglish' it's a blend of fact and fiction. I can't be sure what I heard from my mother, her sisters, and the older ones, was true because each time they told the story it was slightly different. This many be the closest I come to writing a memoir. I don't want to be caught out when Oprah is interviewing. :-)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425528423649700111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-3566840860969216092011-01-20T21:31:23.069-05:002011-01-20T21:31:23.069-05:00"Though it's kind of risky to think that ..."Though it's kind of risky to think that you and your experiences could be 'out there" <br /><br />Why do you say that? If you write a book no matter what it's about it'll be "out there" if it published. So are you saying don't write. or are you saying only write fiction??? <br /><br />I have nothing to be ashamed of. and if running a bed and breakfast for 16 years isn't being out there, I don't know what is. So how much more out there would publishing a book about those 16 years be?Nancy Hinchliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720207101341835900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-14829282494189511142011-01-20T19:36:33.821-05:002011-01-20T19:36:33.821-05:00I admire how persistent you have been in working a...I admire how persistent you have been in working at your memoirs. I think the best advice that you give and follow is to be yourself (to be in your own voice). Though it's kind of risky to think that you and your experiences could be 'out there', the risk is well worth the benefits that ensue. By the way, I enjoyed the story that I read much earlier, which your little 'passage' at the end hints at. I wish you much success in your venture :)PhotoDictionhttp://photodiction.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
