It explains how to begin drafting with memories, letters, photos, and recurring family tales, and how reliving events can create subtle variations in what is recalled.

have shaped my thoughts,internal drive,and ambition.  \nTo my husband &children:Lynn,TW,Kelsey,Stan,&Allison  \nTo my sisters:Marilyn,Carole,Judy,and Jackie  \nTo my darling friend:Iona Gregory  \nYour dedication:  \nThe Memoirist's Companion  \nAcknowledgements  \nThroughout my life I have wondered about my family,those who came before me,along with all of the questions I shouldhave asked my parents and grandmothers about their lives,ways ofthinking,and personal reflections that I now feel I need to knowmore about to better understand myself.Although I have a box ofpictures and a trunk of letters,I do not have any of these wellorganized nor do I fully understand what each item represents inmy life.As a result,I am left still wondering.  \nWhen thinking about my family I realize that while I haveshared thousands of stories of my life with all sorts of people -especially the students of my classroom-there are many detailsand adventures that I have never shared with my spouse andchildren or anyone else who is close to me.To rectify this“deficiency”I decided that it was time to get rolling on mypersonal memoir.Left with reflection and knowing the enormity ofthe task at hand,I procrastinated.Yes,I created a Table ofContents and filled out my note cards with the years of my life andbrief jottings of tales and toils.The vision for a memoir drifted intosight but still the project remained tangled,vague,and blurry.Iheld this venture at a distance while also imagining the worth of itspossibility.  \nProcrastination ended with a request:\"Please get usorganized so we can write about life and those we love...\"Thanksto Michelle Garrison and Dana Peters,The Memoirist'sCompanion transformed from musings and potential into thepages that follow.I traced my life with facts and ponderings that Iwant others to know about me.Then I created a format,chapter bychapter,for you,in fact for every writer who wants to explore andlearn about him/herself,about the in-laws,about Mom and Dad,siblings,and about what makes each of us so unique.You are nowready to explore life through remembering and writing.  \nThanks also extend to The Dinner Club entourage for theiradditional advice -Joyce Mendiola,Kim Parks,and ItaxsoCriswell along with my daughter Allison Cunningham,my sisterJackie Cambron,and my darling nieces Christi Cambron,MichelleCambron,and Karen Ish.  \nSo,enough thinking and planning and wondering,beginwriting.Amazing life details are about to unfold.  \n1  \n# The Memoirist'sCompanionReminiscing and Writing About Life\n\nTable of Contents
