“What to write about in a memoir?” is a basic question. The right answer will keep you writing and the wrong may lead you to believe that writing a memoir is too hard and not for you.

Write about something important to you

My answer to what to write about in a memoir is always to write about something important to you—not what you think is important to others.

Why are you writing? What is it that you hope to get from this effort of creating a memoir? You are about to devote a lot of time and energy to this task. Be sure it is for reasons that will keep you writing. [Free Membership required to read more. See below. ]

What would happen to the memoir conversation if…

  • …you took a moment to present this informative post to your friends and family by linking this article on your social media? Just a click. It’s so easy.
  • …you reposted this article on your own blog or website? It’s free and you’d both have some valuable content to boost your blog’s reputation and you would be providing your readers with valuable guidance. For the best procedure on how to do this, click here.

    My memoir will be about my life with Ataxia – a degenerative nerve disorder.

    I would appreciate suggestions on how to approach the subject to make it interesting. I have several ideas but I’m interested in what others think.

    I am sorry to read that you have ataxia.

    Your question is larger than can be answered here.

    A coach or our Write our First Memoir Draft Program are possible vehicles for you to get the help you need.

    Good luck.
