Would you rather write a biography or a memoir'autobiography
What about you? Have you been told to write a memoir? If so, what would it be called? Have you started writing it?
And do you have any favorite people that you would write about?

- Latest Review: "A World Within Our World" by J. M. Parker
From an objective standpoint, my life has been interesting in some respects (I've lived in 3 countries on 3 continents) but I'm not really comfortable sharing personal information with strangers. I feel that I couldn't write a memoir without addressing some of the more unpleasant or embarrassing aspects of my life, and who wants to hear that!

Who? Likely a friend of mine, who has always been involved in many strange, interesting things. I'm not sure many people would believe it though.

Oh, I hate embarrassment. I hear ya. Sometimes it's just not worth it to get out of bed in the afternoon. You know what I'm talkin' about?Duende Knocking wrote:Biography.

If I wrote my memoir in an honest way, it would depress the cheeriest person. And I've decided I want to use my powers for good. So, no memoirs for me.
If I were to write a biography of someone else... maybe Cloris Leachman. (I just want to ask her why her parents named her that.)
Seriously, one of my living role models is Betty White. I also like Dick Van Dike. So I'd write about one of them.
