How Many of You are Writing a Memoir?
A lot of boomer women are writing their memoirs, and reading others'. I think many of us have stories to tell, and the work of finding those stories and bringing them to light is so rewarding. I'd love to hear about your stories or memoirs whether completed, in progress, or being contemplated. My article "R You Ready to Write Your Memoir?" will be published on http://www.WomensMemoirs.com on Tuesday, September 7.

Today I blogged on womensmemoirs about how movies and early television programs had a profound effect on us and captured our imagination. Please stop by and leave a comment about how books, TV programs, and films helped shape your perspective. I'd love to hear what you have to say!

I''m writing a memoir about healing from abuse. I noticed your post on media and how it shaped us. I use TV shows in my memoir to show the passage of time and add realism to the time period I'm writing about. One valuable resource for me is the online TV guides - you can put TV guide and a particular year in Google and it will give you the listing of shows. It has helped me to remember which nights particular shows were broadcast. In editing the portion I'm working on today I found that the show the Virginian was on during a time when my parents drug me to a meeting that I had to sit through. I could grouse that I'd be missing my favorite show, which I did every Wednesday of that year :).
