I look forward to getting to know you, your why, and your story!
Do you ever question whether your memoir is truly worth writing even though you have a burning desire to write it?
Put this question to rest once and for all by defining your deep-level why!
Defining your deep why will help you:
Claim your story’s worth and honor your need to tell it.
Get clear about your story’s deeper meaning & bring emotion to the page that invites your reader in.
Cultivate compassion for your younger self who lived through the story you’re telling.
What’s inside this course?
Video lessons that show how your why influences your voice, your readers, and your mindset & why it’s especially important for memoirists to define their why.
Writing prompts designed to help you access your why from fresh and surprising angles.
A writing trick to help you drop from your head to your heart, which is where your why resides.
Hello! I’m Marilyn…
Writing my why deepened my compassion for my 20-year-old self who lived through the experience of female sexual shame I’m writing about, and empowered me to own my story and write it forward with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
I created this mini course to help my clients at Writing Women’s Lives Memoir Academy access their profound and sacred why so that they, too, can bring their why’s power, meaning, and emotional depth to their memoir and impact their readers’ lives.
The prompts took me to places I had no idea they were going to take me, and my why is much deeper as a result.
This course pulled things out of me that really showed me why I’m writing what I’m writing.
This workshop is very enlightening–I got so much out of it even though I’ve written my why before.
