Keep at it, memoir writer

Well hello to you dear writer,

A warm January welcome to those of you who are new to my weekly email.

This is Charlotte, writer/writing teacher/musician/mum/wife, reaching out to you from beautiful Golden Bay, New Zealand.

The first thing I want to say to you this year is: keep going. No matter where you’re at in your memoir writing journey. Keep writing, or researching, or organising until you’re finished.

Because if you can keep chipping away at this, then one day, you will hold your finished book in your hands.

And trust me: that is a GOOD feeling.

Imagine future generations also holding your book in their hands, and deeply appreciating you for writing it, because they can learn who and where they came from.

There will be days when you feel utterly lost. There will be days when you think everything you write is terrible.

And there will be other moments when you look up from your work to find you’ve come a lot further than you thought you would, and it’s actually quite readable.

Each are normal parts of the writing journey, depending on your mood and the subject!

So keep at it because your story matters.
