“I believe a good memoir should have all of the narrative elements of a novel: character development, dialogue, descriptive language, and metaphor.” ShouldBelieveCharacterLanguageI BelieveNovelDevelopmentElementsShould HaveMetaphorMemoirDialogueNarrativeCharacter Development Author:Danielle Trussoni
“In terms of style, I think the memoirist should have a novelist's skill and all the elements of a novelist's toolbox. When I read a memoir, I want to really, deeply experience what the author experienced. I want to see the characters and hear the way they speak and understand how they think. And so in that way, writing a memoir feels similar to writing a novel.” ThinkingWayWantFeelsShouldWritingCharacterSpeakTermNovelStyleSkillsElementsShould HaveMemoirNovelistsReally DeepToolbox Author:Danielle Trussoni
