Here’s what I learned from My Fair Junkie by Amy Dresner:
Amy Dresner is the second memoirist I’ve read who had a life changing moment with a breathwork teacher—Glennon Doyle was the first, in Love Warrior. So I found a breathwork person near me and did it! I don’t know if it was life changing but I definitely had a moment.
Character intros should have lots of specific details, and don’t be afraid to make them long, like three or four sentences.
A rule about parentheticals: they should always only be hilarious.
Lots of examples of how to not write your feelings or your own commentary to the story, especially when the dialogue is gold (as it was in Amy’s story).
And a quick update on my memoir!
