We all hear tell of the dreaded "writer's block," but often there's something more fundamental and psychological happening when you get stuck in the process of writing--or never really starting--your memoir.
We are always processing the events that have happened to us, and when those events are transformative in some way, it can take time to fully understand and integrate those experiences into our world view. That process is largely and internal one, so it can be so difficult to transition from working through that process in our heads and externalizing it on paper. Sometimes support is the missing element from moving from wanting to write a book to actually following through with it.

The memoir method checklist is going to take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book. You can download it now at pageandpodium.com/checklist.
