Has anyone faced this challenge in writing a memoir? I have with a non-fiction that is launching, Big Blue Society: Fishtails and Mayhem. As a brotherhood formed in the wild around fishing and camping trips, we got into some illicit substances and good old fashioned debauchery. We never intended to tell our stories, but when one of our men died, we faced the obvious: we all would be gone someday. What of the legacy? What of the stories? What of the brotherhood?
We decided to collect the stories and publish them, but there were some conflicts. How to balance candor while guarding our reputations, hiding our "wild man" behavior from our children, and not opening ourselves up to litigation?
Anyone face similar challenges on the memoir front? Let me know, and I will tell you how we solved these issues.
