November 4 Activity: Don’t Trust Your Memory

November 4: Don’t trust your memory; go to the sources.

There’s not way around it: your memory—and mine—is fallible, unfortunately sometimes false, and too often flattering as it “remembers” events.

To counter this, for November is Memoir Writing Month, gather materials that will support your grasp of the past. There’s nothing like a document created at the time of an event to anchor you in reality.

More of this November is Memoir Writing Month is available with the free My Memoir Education...
