Finally getting some time to READ! Loved and identified with this romp through finding her voice and letting herself go where it takes her. Inspiring!

This is intended for memoir writers, but I feel like the exercises at the end of each chapter would be helpful for any writer. A lot of your material is going to come from within and this book focuses on mining the hard-to-reach stuff. The stuff you don’t want to touch. The stuff you don’t want anyone to see. I got my copy at the library but if I ran across a copy at a bookstore I would definitely pick it up and I would read it again and do all the exercises. ( )

Theo Pauline Nestor is a memoir-writing teacher and author. I don't even remember what it was that made me to request this book, but I didn't know that it was about writing memoirs. I just knew it was about finding your voice. I was thinking more in the line of fiction, but this was okay. I really got me back to the practice of writing just for practice. Although, I am nothing like this woman, I enjoyed her story and could have just enjoyed it without doing the exercises. However, I did most of them, I feel I gained a lot of knowledge about myself, my style and my voice. I believe all writers or aspiring writers who are on Librarything should review every book they read as an exercise in writing their opinion. ( )
