It is greatly appreciated. It is truly difficult to learn from what we have experienced and write about, medication or no medication. Thank you for your compliment. I hope my memoir IS spunky. Any experience we live through--and survive--takes spunk. Good luck with your memoir as well.Victoria Marie Leeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294868315757138169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-67361268845426115992015-08-09T11:38:40.168-04:002015-08-09T11:38:40.168-04:00After doing three drafts on my own memoir, Spirall...After doing three drafts on my own memoir, Spiralling, My Battle With Bipolar , I find the very medicine I take makes it hard for me learn the lessons I put forth. <br /><br />No, writing is not easy. Or learning from it. <br /><br />Good luck with this spunky sounding memoir, Victoria. I wish you the best. :)<br />clarbojahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554871750348852894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-88374468140467955912015-07-29T19:22:54.648-04:002015-07-29T19:22:54.648-04:00That would be wonderful, Nas.

I do feel now, after my camping vacation, that I need to redraft the memoir through the lens I've mentioned here and also: Never give up your dream.

People love rooting for those whom they think aren't going to make it. I don't think it's selfish to want to go to school. It should be an inspiration for your children. :)Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-10074793796495241292015-07-13T08:57:45.034-04:002015-07-13T08:57:45.034-04:00In memoir as in all writing I think it is importan...In memoir as in all writing I think it is important to connect with the readers in some way such as shared experiences or dreams that they'd like to achieve. Since readers typically read for enlightenment it's a good idea to ask the same questions that readers might be asking and provide the answers from the perspective of what the writer has learned from their own experiences.<br /><br />Hope you're having fun with the writing. <br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-25392786770525002062015-07-10T21:58:21.149-04:002015-07-10T21:58:21.149-04:00Thank you so much, Marie.
