Jan. 24, 2024. Wow! So much packed into this video. I learned such effective strategies to blueprint my story. The bits and pieces have been taking up so much unorganized space in my mind, and now you’ve taught me how to gather up the pieces & compose my story. I can’t thank you enough, Brenda!

The refresher about the structure. For some reason I didn’t think about using a structure for a memoir. After all, life doesn’t reveal a plot sometimes… it’s more like a Jorge Luis Borges "ficcion"! But your identification of the three sentences, then showing how to extrapolate the framework, has given me good ideas on how to use it to write multiple stories from different perspectives or for different themes or purposes. I’m a Julia Cameron fan, but she deliberately eschews the kind of practical practice you so clearly set forth. I benefit from both. Thanks again!

I was put up for adoption at birth and endured all the types of abuse throughout my entire childhood. I'm interested in writing a memoir but have no idea where to start.
