Phase 2: Go Deeper to Understand Yourself Memoir Session 1 Phase 2: Go Deeper to Understand Yourself

Write #2: Explain Idea That Seems Connected to You A.K.A. Your Personal View Ask yourself… Why does this matter to me? How does this affect me? My Values, Beliefs, Concerns, Hopes, Actions?

Habit! Ask and answer questions to reflect on an idea and push to understand who I am.

Tools of a Memoirist Write again and again to push deeper and find new and surprising thoughts.

Reread & Reflect #2: Find a Deeper Meaning Highlight words that seem important or are repeated. What do these words suggest? What new idea do you have not that you have reflected? Name this new idea that takes you to a deeper meaning.

Habit! Notice key words and phrases that I repeat. Ask questions about what I repeat. What does this suggest about who I am?

Tools of a Memoirist Write again and again to push deeper and find new and surprising thoughts.

Write #3: Describe the Event with New Eyes Tell the story of the event again. Consider how the insights you have discovered might change the way you tell the revised story of the event. Insert Actions in your life that occurred at the same time as the event Insert reflections and insights you have come to in your writing discovery.

Habit! Use past writing to choose a new angle on the next write.

Tools of a Memoirist Write again and again to use new insights to resee events and explain how the event impacted your life.

Phase 3: Track an Idea to find an event that explains who you are Write #4 Stray into a memory and write about your life. Write the story of an event in your life that is an example of this new idea. Add comments that explain what you understand about yourself or about the world. (Hint, how did this event change you or affect you?)

HABIT! Connect ideas and what you learn about yourself to other stories or events in your life. Tell the event with reflective statements about its meaning and how it helps you understand yourself.

Tools of a Memoirist Write again and again to push deeper to who I am.
