“He talks about the value of sharing stories, about how it makes people less alone. He calls sharing an act of bravery, not just because it takes vulnerability to be open with others but because it takes courage to be honest with oneself.”
– Maria Adelmann, How to be Eaten: A Novel
Writing a memoir is one of the greatest acts of bravery because it’s an honest account of your experiences whereby you are both the narrator and the experiencing character having to put yourself back in your own shoes as though the moment were just occurring while also being the older-wiser you now able to better understand that moment in time…
You are both hero (saving yourself) and human (which means you’re messy and imperfect) and asked to embrace both sides of yourself–light and shadow…
You are tasked with remembering painful things in new ways that offer new perspectives or insights to your readers, turning your past pain into purposeful, powerful, and impactful lessons…
Writing, revising, publishing, and sharing your story is not for the faint of heart but it is one of the most transformative (healing, empowering, and liberating) experiences you may have.
Your story is waiting to be told.
(And there are people already waiting for your memoir to be their miracle.)
