This is lovely, Eleanor. Thank you. I enjoyed the pliers regarding memoir writing. Hard, even painful, yet how else? Writing a memoir may be a way forward?

Yep, "it's hard this memoir business." No kidding ... See here: https://marytabor.substack.com/p/i-need-to-live-alone-chapter-1 --maybe a 2-minute read.

Hello. Just subscribed, I love the one minute memoir. I am writing my memoir and it's taking much longer than one minute. Love your writing.
