Amber Lea Starfire nails it: “Good writing takes patience, diligence, attention to detail, the ability to identify and solve problems, and—oh, yes—desire.”
Completing a memoir can be an exhausting project because it’s much more than writing. It’s tweaking, revising, rewriting, editing, proofreading, and publishing. (I’m telling you this from experience—my current experience. Sigh.)
But I can do this. I can do this. Baby step by baby step.
You can do it, too! Find advice and encouragement by clicking over to Amber’s post, Writing is Revision is Rewriting is Craft.
Also, check out this humongous list of resources from Becca and Angela at One Stop for Writers. Their materials focus on fiction writers, but almost everything applies to memoir writers, too.
And remember this from April 24's post: Prayer is the secret to writing better than you're capable of writing.
P. S. I just ordered Amber Lea Starfire’s new memoir, Accidental Jesus Freak. Check it out!
There you have it, your Tuesday Tidbit.
