People ask if there is a “magic bullet” for writing memoir better and faster.

Well, there almost is!

The Memory List is perhaps the closest you’ll ever get to a magic bullet for writing your memoir. The Memory List will keep you writing and writing. Honestly…

Once you write a Memory List—and there will be different ones for your different memoirs and memoir segments, you will never again be saddled with the “writer’s block.” Writer’s block will seem an indulgence and you will never be at a loss again about how to continue on your memoir. Day after day, the writing will flow. The posts below tell you why and how.

Better than a writing prompt

While the Memory List is not an organizational tool for your memoir, it is a text generator like you’ve never seen before.

Whether you are beginning your writing project or are well into writing your memoir, stop what you are doing and read the articles below, buy a copy of Turning Memories Into Memoirs where the Memory List is presented in even more detail, and then begin—or resume—to write.

I will not write in this introduction about what a Memory List is because the posts below do an extensive presentation on how to create one and how to use it effectively.

More than length

If the Memory List just helped you to write more text that would already be great assist, but it will also help you to write more deeply. Your stories will have a more insightful glimpse into your experience.

In conclusion

Read all the articles below as they describe the Memory List in clear understandable detail.

The topic is also developed in Writing Great Memory Lists 101 and in How to Go Beyond Writing Prompts.
