Show Notes:
(Hard things for Memoirists)
Making the truth interesting,
thinking of/understanding that a book is a tool in the publishing industry (reaching audience) Who are they talking to? Marketing can get in the way.
reliving, (self-care when writing hard stuff) (seek a therapist if needed for re-traumatization)
getting it right (idea of One Truth that gets in the way); OH! It's really about ...
separating self from the character. (In order to receive feedback.)
