Should you write your memoir?

This is such a basic question that perhaps everyone who contemplates writing will be—or should be—asking him/herself that question.

A great response to “should you write your memoir?”

When I found Paul LaRosa’s answer to this question on the Huffington Post, I immediately wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it.

I especially liked his comparison with Frank McCourt.

What answer have you come up with?
