I'm not sure just when it hit me but it feels like a good one.<br/><br/>Mr. Grudge: Thankies for the awesome advice. It rings true through every word. :) I'm finding so long as I don't try to write it and just wait until I spontaniously feel like writing down my memories is working for me. The less I try and the more I just let it flow, let the inner writer in me take over, and the inner editor who wants to get published take a back seat, the more I'm enjoying this whole process. It's fun and wonderful in so many ways. J1M: Thanks. I’m not sure just when it hit me but it feels like a good one.

But, writers sometimes forget that they are story tellers. Your life is a story and one does not write a book about it in a philosophical sense. We tell others our tales and we use our writing skills to do so. It sounds like I am mincing words here, but what I am trying to say is explain your life, don't strain to remember it. Describe your experiences, don't catalog them. Explain your existence, don't list your experiences. Above all, dig down deep...and write. Your book takes form not as a result of the volume of material your produced, but because of the story you told. I wish you luck with your writing. You have the skills, the drive, and the talent. Just Trust yourself and do what comes naturally. Write.<br/>-Mike. Hi Spirit,
