It's a big question you ask. What a writer writes about, if they were writing about their life.

It's not the material that's the problem, the material is there, everyone has the material. It's the angle. Where the fuck do you start? What tense, what person, what pow, what tone, what detail, what's real, what do you make up, who do you leave out, include...etc!

I write memoir, but I'm just playing, trying to find the fit. How could this work!!

Hugely challenging! Thanks for discussing it further.
