Memoir

Read Psalms 69-72

Psalms 69:11 "I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them."

Keeping a journal is especially helpful when we are going through a difficult time. Writers know we can turn every dark night of the soul into a writing project.

Memoirs are one place to market our journey. We will want to wait to pronounce the book as finished and ready to submit until we have some distance from our trauma.

Memoirs are not simply autobiographies, because they have a theme: overcoming what we went through. They should be as good a read as a novel and give the reader hope that they too will get through whatever they are going through.
