Advoce to a Memoirist

from "Lenses" a book-length collection of essays in search of a publisher)

Don't let yourself be constrained by the limits of your chosen genre.
When you dream that your daughter is a mother and you a grandmother, write down what you see and what that feels like, and see where such a scene takes you.
Let your characters tell you which way your story shuld go. And one of those characters is the image of yourself that you have created and who now has a life and a will of her own.
