Oh LaVonne that’s so kind of you! Thank you. I’ll be posting regularly about the memoir process and all that good, hard stuff. You keep writing too :-)
I related to this deeply, Lisa. I've had the feeling that I MUST tell my story, that telling it would liberate me and meet some deep psychological need. I've also had to manage the consequences when people wish you hadn't written what you wrote or that your story could be a bit more palatable, a bit easier to hear.
I appreciate you sharing your experience, as we both figure out a way to hold the dualities involved in writing about our lives.
This is exactly the newsletter I have been looking for, thank you! Keep writing. :-)
