You know you need to start writing your memoirs when:
- you keep telling the same stories over and over until your children and friends have them by heart
- you find yourself waking in the early morning hours with stories dancing in your mind
- you’ve started to collect notebooks and nice pens, and go fantasy shopping for a laptop every chance you get
- you get out the old photographs and spend hours looking at them and remembering people, events, feelings and stories
- you can no longer use your dining room, office, den or garage because they are all buried in personal and family papers and memorabilia
- Most of your sentences begin with: ‘I remember when…’
Do you have any other good indications that it is time to begin writing your memoirs?
