Nuts! I can't get the family to leave me alone sometimes. So my uninterrupted thinking time, hiding away in windowless spaces is precious.<br /><br />I agree with you that my memoir is a bit lean in word count. I'm hoping this next revision adds proper scenes and insight to increase its length. Here's hoping. Your memoir, on the other hand, has so many intriguing stories; I'm wondering if length is as important, as long as it's not the same kind of event over and over, which I can't believe it would be. <br /><br />I truly appreciate your sharing your insight here at Adventures in Writing.

When I read "the revision of m...Hi Victoria! <br /><br />When I read "the revision of my memoir" in the beginning of your blog post, I thought "Yes, she did it! She finished a(nother) version!" Good for you - you certainly are putting a lot of thought and effort in the process. While your themes and purpose are awesome, I do think 55K words is too short for a memoir. Mine - at 95K words - is too long on the other hand. The middle ground - about 75K is pretty good, I think.<br /><br />I agree with all your remarks about where to write to get the least distraction. Ideally, I'm locked up in a room without a view and nobody to disturb me, in order to work. Obviously, a 19ft camper moving about intriguing locales is not that place! :-) Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-54543436305801347912019-09-09T06:11:00.225-04:002019-09-09T06:11:00.225-04:00I write fresh drafts in a spiral notebook anywhere...I write fresh drafts in a spiral notebook anywhere I happen to be that an idea pops up.
