Back To Our Website. Memoir Writing As Sculpture - Part 1. Memoir Writing As Sculpture - Part 1. First the writing. Then the book. A client and I were brainstorming about her work. She was in the place people I work with dream of arriving—a draft manuscript. For my client, what at first was material without identity or features now had flow, continuity and shape.

You are not Angelina Jolie, did not set the record for the one minute mile and your cape never even got out of the package. Write because it feels good. You'll be t...

Back To Our Website. Write to prime the pump that is your memory. Write to prime the pump that is your memory. We all feel our memories are fading. From an early age, our memories are selectively taking things from the 'active' file, shifting them to the 'for later' file, and sneakily moving details to the permanent 'archive' from where we fear we will never retrieve them. I've got news for you - the memories are there. Write to prime the pump that is your memory. I promise, it works. And let your mind g...

And she edited me. And she told me they'd be my team.
