NAWW Member Event: Linda Joy Myers on Five Secrets to Writing a Publishable Memoir Linda Joy Myers, Ph.D., author of Don’t Call Me Mother & Becoming Whole: Writing Your Healing Story, has been a therapist in Berkeley for over twenty-seven years. Dr. Myers combines her background in art, clinical work, and writing (she received her MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College) to offer unique memoir workshops and trainings in the Bay Area and nationally. She is former president of the California Writers Club, Marin branch, and is now on the board of Story Circle Network. Five Secrets to Writing a Publishable Memoir Writing a memoir is a journey into the heart of your own life and story, and a journey into the business of publishing. The first step toward getting published is to write your memoir despite the voice of the inner critic. Many memoir writers have trouble figuring out which stories to tell, and have trouble deciding what truths to tell because of worrying about the objections of family. On the teleseminar you will learn: 1. How to translate memories into stories (Right brain journaling; making lists of themes, chronology of events.) 2. How using a timeline and vignette model helps you keep track of events and structure your memoir. (Talk about quilting the stories based upon the “hot” emotional triggers or strong memories. Creating the timeline based upon your whole life; then focusing on the significant themes you want the reader to understand to create the timeline of the book.) 3. How fictional skills such as scene, dialogue, and plot will create a memoir that grabs the reader. (Narration vs. scene, and the need for reflection. Dialogue; plot and structure as a weakness that most editors complain about.) 4. How to write your truths without the voice of the family or the inner critic over your shoulder. (Talking about family dynamics, how to handle family members and how the family can turn into the inner critic) 5. How to rewrite, edit, and find agents and publishers—(a brief guide.)

Article of the Week How To Stay Motivated - Easy Tips for Sustaining Your Passion by Sheri McConnell
1) Find a Natural Sanctuary - Stimulate the Senses By far one of the best ways to stay motivated and to sustain your passion (no matter what it is) is to get outside and walk or jog or run. Our bodies and our brains need to be stimulated and nothing does this better than nature. Nature is vivid. The sounds and textures and smells will help you come alive. And by physically moving in nature, you will stimulate your body even more. Once your senses become stimulated, your brain will start to give you answers to personal and/or business questions. Your body will also become programmed to generate new creative ideas when you stimulate your senses. Read the rest of this article here
