When you write memoir, you're not just telling your story, you're relaying the tales of the seven generations before you. When you're healing with memoir, you're not just mending yourself, you're restoring your ancestors (yes, even those who have passed).
It's an tremendous, sacred, sometimes overwhelming task.
Semi-autobiographical fiction also invokes the stories of our predecessors. I know this Read more of this blog post »

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“To hell with facts! We need stories!”

“There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or a mock innocence.”

“Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work.”
