But... I'm not famous
Some individuals suffer from the
But, I'm not famous syndrome and wallow in it as an excuse not to write a memoir. As author, Denis Ledoux said: "You deserve a memoir." Why? If
you don't write your life stories, they will be lost forever.
Ledoux affirms, "First of all, let’s define our terms. Autobiography is the history of one’s entire life. Biography is about the life of another person. A memoir is the story of a particular part of one’s life—e.g., my Vietnam memoir. I believe that all of us have a part of our lives—a memoir—that is of interest to other people."
Recently, I signed a contract with my publisher to write my autobiography and I'm starting this blog to share my journey, tips, and techniques.
