A recent study revealed that the Number 1 thing that baby
boomers want to do in retirement is write a book....about
themselves. It's not that every person has lived such a
unique or dramatic life, but we inherently understand that
writing memoir-whether it's a book, blog, or just a letter
to a child-is the single greatest portal to self-examination. While there have been other writing books, there's been
nothing like Marion Roach Smith's THE MEMOIR PROJECT. Marion
has written four books and she's been teaching a sold-out
memoir writing class for 13 years. Her new book is a
disarmingly frank, but wildly fun, distillation of all the
unsentimental lessons that WORK. Tired topics like writing
exercises, morning pages and "writer's block" are replaced
with quirky, provocative tactics that teach you to write
with purpose. Previously self-published in April 2010 (under the title
Writing What You Know: Realia), the book has already proven
hugely popular, and with its new title and updated content,
it is sure to find an even bigger and even more enthusiastic
audience.
