As you write, you think you are remembering something in a certain way, but, suddenly, you see something else or learn something that you didn't know . . . until you started writing. You will have that "aha" moment when things become crystal clear. Especially when you struggle with the difficult parts of your past. It will change you.

Gosier Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:11:49 +0000 http://www.autumnnewell.com/?p=48#comment-38 I can totally relate. Completing my memoir I tell folks was the 3rd hardest thing I ever had to DO in my life. My first and second are giving birth to my two daughters! I managed to cry through and painfully revisit and most importantly document the learned lessons from the painful memories for my children and their children on down. They are only 6 and 7 and are so anxious to be able to read what I have crafted. So I have to say, "It was well worth all 3 struggles in the end!" I can totally relate.

Quality characteristics and necessary for your venture! It's amazing how many other things need to get done when we are presented with looking at self and feeling those feelings. Keep walking and writing with that gift of Courage. Peace. I appreciate your honesty and openness. Quality characteristics and necessary for your venture!
