“Those of us who obsess over every word and action are constantly recalling past events, but that doesn't make them any less painful, nor does it help us transcend them. To write memoir, you have to not only recollect past events, you have to revisit them. You have to get back to the mental and emotional state you were in during those events.” WritingDoeStatesHelpingActionPastEventsEmotionalPainfulMemoirGet BackWords And ActionsPast Events Author:Janice Erlbaum
“I didn't set out to write a book with no real male characters, but men were not important to my narrator, who was much more interested in maternal and pseudo-maternal love, so they were unimportant to me. I didn't even notice the lack of men in the story until I finished it. But once I did notice it, I was kind of delighted. Apparently, my subconscious is totally sexist.” MenWritingKindImportantBookRealCharacterStoriesMalesFinishedSubconsciousDelightedUnimportantSexistPseudoNarratorsMaternal Love Author:Janice Erlbaum
