So true El...Agree with all of you lovely ladies :)<br /><br />So true Elaine that some wrongs can't be made right, but they can be dealt with and that's important too.<br /><br />Alissa, thanks for visiting. I love stories that take the essence of an event and turn it into something we can all relate to, those types of stories definitely make for less critical reading on my part.<br /><br />I really shouldn't be amazed that memoirs are on the want list. A bit like those living libraries, where people can sit with actual strangers and be told their whole life history. It is actually quite amazing some of the lives people have led. My main bug-bear is with stories that drone on about how good "they" are, and nothing about the situations, politics, idealogy etc of the time.<br /><br />Love Seinfeld too, really highlighted so many things that society views as normal, but when seen on Seinfeld, we could see it for the farce that it actually was. Thanks for reminding me of that episode :)A misinterpreted wavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567793709692182136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456382905076414046.post-69615994955099485522010-04-10T00:56:35.046+10:002010-04-10T00:56:35.046+10:00It amazes me how many publishers actually are look...It amazes me how many publishers actually are looking for memoirs. I always thought most people who wrote memoirs were delusional to believe their life story was SO important, the world would want to read it. Because, actually, many of the people I've met who were writing memoirs were kind of pompous. The ones I've met were very wealthy bored people who thought they'd lived an exciting life. Like J. Peterman on Seinfeld, when he hired Elaine to write his memoirs, then had to steal Kramer's stories!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456382905076414046.post-4339397061539331982010-04-08T11:31:33.636+10:002010-04-08T11:31:33.636+10:00The best sort of autobiographical fiction takes so...The best sort of autobiographical fiction takes something that happened to the author and looks at it in a completely new way. It doesn't mean that zombies are space aliens need to be thrown in, just that it should tell it's own story with the autobiographical bit just elements of the story and not the story itself.Alissa Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701189791875707920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456382905076414046.post-33430988889667666432010-04-08T05:39:30.130+10:002010-04-08T05:39:30.130+10:00Sometimes the worst thing a person can hear is &qu...Sometimes the worst thing a person can hear is "Sorry". As a word I loathe it. Sorry is as sorry does, and sometimes wrongs cannot be put right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.com
