- Show you how to organise your memories to create a book.
- Show you how to find the theme, the plot, and the story archetype of your memoir.

What materials do I need?
- You need access to a computer, the internet, and if you decide to print the workbook, a printer.
- We encourage you to write by hand as much as possible, especially when you are doing prompts, exploring, or brainstorming.
- But, you are welcome to use any tool that you are comfortable with. No two methods, or two memoirists, are the same.
How do I complete the exercises?
- Either download the course and work off a printed version OR work from the online modules on the website.
- Some will be free writing exercises; others will be more structured with specific instructions.
- For the free writing exercises, simply put pen to paper and see where it takes you.
- For the more structured exercises, try to follow the instructions. But then again, it’s creative and there are no rules.
