They say that the human mind has unimaginable capabilities that are far beyond the inventions made by mankind. It's incredible on every level to be able to dig up the most unimportant details and dust them off to put on a shelf of memory.
I think I have mastered this art. In the process of writing my memoir, my mind floods with places and faces from the past. It's like a breath of fresh air. In most cases, I am sure to keep a notebook close by to ensure that I will have the opportunity to write down even the tiniest details. Are they important? Not necessarily. But they do bring a smile to my face!
Now, I do have a confession to make: I have not been as faithful to my memoir as I should be. My nose tends to stick itself in a book and forget the world. I have been a little more organized though. When I started to write, I tried to start from the very beginning and slowly work my way towards the end. This method did not work for me. Instead, I grabbed a three subject notebook and started to write about several different things that had nothing to do with the other. I figured that if I could jump all over the place, it would be easier to blend all the stories into each other to form a book.
I have another confession to make: I have been looking into self-publishing my book. *GASP* No way!
YES WAY!!! Now, notice that I said that I've only been looking into it and nothing is set in stone. If, by any miracle, it should get published, it won't be in the near future. And, if in the far future, my book would be worthy of being distributed and put on bookshelves across the US, I will be able to cross "publish a book" off my bucket list!
I will be posting more updates in the near future!
