Memoir, Etc

I am reading this book by Natalie Goldberg (Writing Down The Bones) called An Old Friend From Far Away. There are various exercises to lead one down the path of memoir. One simple starting point is to write "I remember..." and go from there. So far the book has inspired me to do some writing about my life, my past.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the past because the present just isn't all that exciting. I can't blame anyone but myself for this. Depression, boredom, self-pity, lack of acceptance, etc.
Well, at least I can say I blogged today.
