Baring one's soul in a memoir is hard work. Convincing others to care is one thing, but to engage in your life story? That's a whole other beast. In her book, Writing the Memoir, Judith Barrington says the first step is getting ourselves - and our readers - to care about our memoir. In this podcast we discuss both her philosophical reasoning and practical advice.

In this week's writing exercise, Kim tries to come up with what her memoir should be about. Spoiler: it does not go well. Thankfully Renee is there to pep-talk Kim off the edge. Fun times!
