There is a better way than beginning with I was born a very young child… Find a memory that excites you and write about it. Then, pick the next one.
Write now, organize later. Just get your memories down on the page. Happy writing!

Excellent advice. We can always move and place the stories where we want them or where they need to be. Thanks, Stella
Patricia, a beautiful advise. I wrote the first part of my memoir series having no clue how to write a book. I wrote each chapter chronologically without thinking. But I guess, it does not work like that fir others. Last week I began to write part two and this time, I am using you suggestions. I even charted the bits of memories on a template you provided. I intend to use it fir each following chapter to make my life easier. Most likely, I will continue to write in chronological order, but it is just me.
I love how you are always changing it up and inspiring writers in new ways. Love this vlog and your bite-sized tips. Repeating so we can hear the ideas in a new way. Each time I listen, I take away positive energy. Thank you, Patricia!
