For some writers, a memoir is kind of like giving yourself "a second chance at life." Although we can never go back in time to change the past, we can re-experience, interpret, and make peace with our past lives. When we write a personal narrative we find new meanings and, at the same time, we discover connections with our former selves. That's one of the things I love about writing.
Now, we are asking our readers to share their memoirs with us! Send us your story via email or do it online at Boomerful.com. We'll compile the submissions and make a special section on the site dedicated to nostalgia and personal memoirs. Looking forward to reading what you have to share!
So true! Memoir writing can be extremely cathartic. What a great idea!
