I read Bill Roorbach about a dozen years ago and did not recall that Method Writing tip, though I often use it. Your Larry Brooks paraphrase: "Make your readers happy they are not there, yet grateful to feel what it was like to be you." That's exactly what I feel when I read a well-crafted memoir. Thank you for articulating and labeling that for me. Sharon Lippincotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269757107845288737noreply@blogger.com
