Inspiration for Memoirists

We’re on this journey together!

I regularly offer writing prompts, blog posts on the craft of writing, and inspirational videos for memoirists–you can find many free resources right here on my website!

It’s all part of my conviction that our work on the elemental journey of purposeful memoir has a broader meaning out in the world. With each step, we learn more about ourselves, and society, and our world, and with that deeper knowledge comes a more intentional, purposeful way of being in the world.

Free writing prompts!

Download the prompts for my powerful “Seeking Joy” workshop, part of my Alchemy of Purposeful Memoir series–now offered regularly online!

My approach in these two-hour generative workshops is to “salute the positive and transmute the negative” in your life story, with a focus on a different quality or aspect that we’d like more of in our lives, such as Courage, Community or Purpose.
