In our Memoir Method program, outlining is a major backbone to our process. Many writers who love writing but hate outlining might be holding over some annoyance from typical outline assignments from high school or college--tedious exercises in formatting and nit-picky scaffolds.

Outlining does not have to be that way. It can be an enormously beneficial process to you and your project. It can even make it more fun.

Do you have a memoir you're wanting to write, but not sure how to get started? Or you've started a memoir but now you're stuck? We can help!

Writing a book is hard, but you can do hard things.

If you've wanted to write a book for a long time, but it always feels like something is getting in the way, it might be time to consider if that something is simply your mindset. One of the hardest things about writing a book is that you have to believe in the project for a really long time, without much in the way of external validation, in order to get it done. This means you have to believe, even before you start, that you are worthy and capable of writing the book. Because you are.

Today we go through ways to shift your mindset so you can get out of your own way and write that book.

Do you have a memoir you're wanting to write, but not sure how to get started? Or you've started a memoir but now you're stuck? We can help!

There is a lot of contradictory advice out there about how writers should (or shouldn't) incorporate audience expectations, trends, and wants into your writing process. It is after all, your story, so shouldn't it be as unique as you are?

There is a way to balance these two needs against each other with some clarity about how audiences find books, how to separate your process from your project, and how to protect what makes your book unique while still finding and satisfying an audience.
