For anyone who read my memoir, Long Road to Dry River, and is interested in a bit of backstory, The Brevity Blog (US) has kindly published a short (very short) essay I wrote about a light bulb moment in the writing, and my precious aunt who brought it about.
Thanks Libby. Yes, Julie was a blessing. Still is.
Jen, this essay is a great behind the scenes glimpse at the process involved in finding the heart of your memoir. All writers need an insightful reader like your aunt to encourage us to go deeper. Well done!
