What to Do Next

  • Next year, or the year after that, what would you be happy to have written? What will make you say, “Good work!”
  • Make a rough timetable for writing the memoir you want to write. This is a prescription more than a proscription. This timetable is a working document and you will be changing it regularly—always in favor of better supporting yourself. Often the end time is a family or personal celebration or anniversary.
  • What daily schedule would work for you? Make one that underpromises—but does not trivialize—your commitment.
