As I reshape my daily schedule to allow more writing time, I find myself digging deep into memory to write my truth. At the same time the evil censor kicks in telling me what I can and can't write. That's when I turn to the godfather of writing instruction and cling to the life raft of his words:
“You’re under no obligation to ask all your brothers and sisters and cousins how they remember the family saga. They will all remember it differently; there’s no one authorized version of the shared past.”
William Zinsser, Writing About Your Life – A Journey into the Past (p. 112)
