This is amazing Charlie. It brings so much more depth and dimension to understanding what the art of memoir is about—relationships, closure, healing, communication, perception, self-awareness. It sounds like for you memoir is almost a way of living life that honors your past and helps you integrate it into the present, along with those who have been and continue to be important to you in your life. Memoir is like the intentional making sense of oneself here and now by taking charge of your own stories. Do you relate to it this way, with all these personal development and relationship implications, or is the focus more on the craft of writing that surrounds great memoir?
