When To Break The Spell

When writing memoir we start out intending to write about a time, a place, an incident, a person. As we write, our memories start to flow. We cast a spell over ourselves. This can lead to writing things like, "I can't remember what happened next but...", or "I think he said," or "It may have been..." These words are the product of the mind as it tries to remember .
