Tomorrow Is the Day You Either Start or Wait Another Year
Most people who want to write their memoir are waiting.
Waiting for more time. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting for the kids to be older, the job to slow down, the calendar to open up in a way it never quite does.
I understand the waiting. I did it for two decades.
Here is what I know now that I didn't know then: the conditions you are waiting for are not coming. Not because life won't eventually slow down — maybe it will — but because by the time it does, the urgency that's been driving the desire will have quieted too.
And quiet urgency doesn't finish memoirs.
What finishes memoirs is a structure, a deadline, and a room full of people doing it alongside you.
That room opens tomorrow morning.
The Story Frame Sprint starts March 9th at 9 am PST. Four days. One hour each. One complete, polished story and a full 30-chapter memoir outline before we're done.
If you've been reading these emails all week and something in you keeps saying yes, but not yet — I want to gently suggest that tomorrow is exactly as good as it's going to get.
Your family is waiting for this story.
Not someday.
Tomorrow.
Happy telling!
