24: Your Memoir Needs to Have a Point

Today’s episode is for writers who aren’t really sure what their memoir is supposed to do. They know they want to write their stories, but that’s as far as they’ve got. Or maybe they dived head-first into writing and now feel lost—and they don’t know way. Today’s episode will help you figure out exactly where you’re losing the thread and what you need to do to get back on track.

I mention the memoirist Jenny Lawson (she's equal parts dark and funny).

Check out episode 20 of the podcast for a deeper discussion on how to write yourself as a main character.
