Memoir Writing with Susan Colleen Browne- 6 More Great Ideas in the PM

No lack of energy after lunch for this writing workshop. 

  • Avoid long expository passages; instead, link scenes with expository writing
  • Have your characters talking and doing something
  • Life is like a collage-your big task is to make it all coherent
  • When you're writing fiction, use all your senses, including your sixth sense
  • Writing a memoir is about figuring out who you used to be and how you became who you are now
  • Anytime you make a decision, you are becoming a different person

Thanks so much to Susan Colleen Browne for being such a kind, knowledgeable and inspiring instructor.  She kindly agreed to let me interview her in the coming weeks and I'm looking forward to more of her insights.
