About this listen

Whether or not one has lived an exceptional or dramatic life, we inherently understand that writing memoir—whether it’s a book, blog, or just a letter to a child - is the single greatest portal to self-examination. Stop treading water in writing exercises or hiding behind “writer’s block” and learn how to write with intent. Marion Roach Smith’s disarmingly frank but wildly fun tactics offer you simple and effective guidelines that work. Your legacy beings now.

Critic Reviews

“Marion’s approach is like a mathematician teaching theory. Scary and interesting. She has illustrated a formula I now understand: pull the precise out of the indistinct, and watch the stories add up.” (Paul Ehmann, real estate broker and essayist, Chicken Soup for the Soul series)

Nice. I repeat. Nice. And this does change the implications of a single 'nice', doesn't it? Well, the text touches the heart but not as many times as the author may have intended to... and so a reader or a listener who is itching to be a learner and a writer, knows that he needs to wait until the next book.

Nice. And I know what this may mean to many.
