Manage episode 431389190 series 2455407
This podcast episode explores the art of memoir writing with my guest, Cindy House. Our conversation delved into the memoir’s rising popularity and its essential elements. Cindy emphasizes curiosity as the foundation of writing, discussing how memoir differs from autobiography by focusing on specific life aspects rather than a comprehensive account of one’s life. The conversation covers the structure of memoirs, including the importance of a central dramatic question and thematic framework. Cindy shares insights on overcoming writer's resistance and self-doubt, offering practical strategies for perseverance. The episode also tackles the complex nature of truth in memoir writing, highlighting the significance of personal perspective over historical accuracy.

Curiosity drives the writing process and is essential for personal and creative growth.
Memoir writing focuses on specific life aspects and requires a central dramatic question and thematic framework.
Truth in a memoir is often subjective, relying on personal experience and memory rather than historical accuracy.
