    Miglior citazione da How to Write a Powerful Spiritual Memoir on Sobriety and Faith

    “

    A memoir isn't an autobiography; it’s not the story of your whole life, but a story from your life. The goal is to find the central question your life was trying to answer and map the internal landscape rather than the calendar.

    ”

    Domanda di input

    I want to write a memoir about my spiritual experience that came about through a major shift in my life of getting sober and finding God. How does one write a memoir that is truly something moving and powerful. Give me some lessons on how to go about this. Where do I start. Where do I take it? How do I deal with many years of stories that are kind of blurry, events known but not the exsact chronology. Let’s talk with the masters.
