A Loving Point of View

While our lives differ, what will makes others want to read your story is the commonality of the story. We can all identify with struggles, hopes, illness, happiness, jealousy, disappointments, triumphs, etc. Share these commonalities while writing out of love. Not all chapters will be pleasant, but a story told out of love will make all other commonalities believable and meaningful. To me, writing a memoir is an act of love. As an author you want to share and preserve something meaningful to readers. To tell a story from any other point of view doesn't make sense.

Thank you. This makes sense. And helps me understand why some things work, and others don't.
