Memoir writers aren't the only ones who write about themselves. Many of us write to work things out in our minds, our hearts, to learn our own individual truths, to make sense of our worlds.
Memoir writers shape their stories around their own lives and stick to the truth and call their work a memoir.
Fiction writers take their lives and embellish for meaning or humor or excitement's sake to create a novel or screenplay or short story.
Some of us tire of ourselves and find more compelling fodder.
Others continue to delve into the well of our lives.
How many of your stories are about you?
