The Memoir in You

Since we're looking at writing some kind of memoir for the January discussion, I found this helpful site: How to Write Memoirs at BBC. Check it out. Maybe it'll inspire some of us, or have some helpful advice. As a sidenote (or strange coincidence) I just picked up Ellen Burstyn's memoir Lessons in Becoming Myself today at the library (which is so easy since I just have to walk upstairs from my desk at work...). Besides the fact that she's one of my favorite actresses, I guess maybe I really need some inspiration for this little writing exercise.
