@expatggbarb.bsky.socialOops—a day late. Yesterday was a travel day. Here’s your Memoir Tip of the Week. I have an accountability buddy and we have a weekly word count that we want to hit. So far, we haven’t hit it, but each week we get closer!
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialToo many people put off writing a book, whether it’s nonfiction, a novel, or their memoir, until “someday.” I don’t even need to say the next part, do I?
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialThe Friday writing prompt. It’s healthy when small things bring you happiness. What’s a small thing that you do, maybe it’s the ritual doing, that brings you happiness or contentment?
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialIt’s Monday. I got a bit feisty about using timelines in memoirs. I have THOUGHTS. BIG THOUGHTS. (Okay, really, I was just being bitchy this morning. It's Monday. I need more coffee...)

@expatggbarb.bsky.socialThe Friday weekly writing prompt is up. You ARE going to write this weekend, yes? I thought so.
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialWednesday is Memoir Tip of the Week Day. A HUGE part of writing and FINISHING is what I call butt glue. It’s putting your butt in the chair until you get your writing done for your set session. (You do schedule writing sessions into your week, don’t you??)

@expatggbarb.bsky.socialSometimes the way you write about things reveals more about you than the words themselves. This can be good… or bad. Read on!
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialThis week’s writing prompt is about how you define success. What we may have thought of as success when we were younger may no longer fit us. And that’s probably a good thing. A sign of growth.
@expatggbarb.bsky.socialCutting those precious words can make your book better—especially if those words shouldn’t have been there in the first place!
