I am Old School. I write long hand and then have to type all those pages into the computer.
I take my notebook to work. I write on my lunch and breaks. This week I was very productive. I have found my format in which I am going to write my Memoir. Though it has taken awhile, a few months. I have decided how to write it.
1. I have plotted out my Memoir. What I want to put in and what I want to leave out. I can't put every detail and event in the Memoir.
2. I found my 3 plot points and know the ending
3. I have a rough draft of the first three chapters. Yes, I will have to add detail to them, but I know what I want in those chapters. So that is 9 scenes written in long hand.
For me writing in Longhand lets me be more free and open, because I know that I am going to rewrite all of it. But it lets my ideas flow and lets me write whatever comes to mind. I have always written in longhand and it took me awhile to get use to writing on the computer.
So what ever works for you is good. The important thing is to write, either in longhand or one the computer. As long as you can keep the ideas flowing and knowing that you will have to rewrite it.
I am still deciding on a Title.
1. Depression No More
2. Your Past Does Not Define You
3. Healed By The Stripes of Jesus.
I know I have to have Key Words in the Title. I know the Title should be as few words as possible.
This is where I am at so far. Today I am going to type in my pages in longhand.
I am writing a memoir of my child sexual abuse by my grandfather and how it effected my entire life.
This is not my life story, only part of it.
As I was plotting this out, I know that my family will not agree with me. That is okay, because they do not believe that my grandfather sexually abused me anyway, so I am moving forward
Today is Monday
