 My life's not that interesting.
That's what someone wrote in the comment section of a survey I sent out a while ago. It's not what I expected to hear, and I don't believe it's true. Read why.


Because if you don't share your stories, how will they know:
How you did it...
How it happened ..., or
Why it matters

Why a short story memoir?
Your experience unfolds one story at a time. Let's tell it that way.

Writing a memoir, how-to book, or corporate history can seem like an overwhelming task. But what if you started with just one story at a time?

Choose a theme, an event, or personal accomplishment and start there. Write one story, then another, and before you know it you'll have a collection. And a collection of stories? Well, then you have a book.
