“Memoir is a unique opportunity to revisit yourself. I don't mean by memory. I mean in the revision process. You don't just write a chapter and that's it. You must constantly return to it.

You have to find the poetry in yourself.” IfsWritingMeanOpportunityProcessMemoriesReturnUniqueWho You AreUglyMemoirChaptersRevisionUnique Opportunities Author:Joshua Mohr
