TAKE IT TO HEART

Memoir writers often find it useful to draw the physical layout of their childhood home on a piece of paper while they write. Try it: count the steps from your bedroom to the kitchen, and recount where the sun came in at different times of the day. These are the telling details of your characters’ lives.

Components of Place

Often the setting for your memoir is a childhood home in a formative period of your life. But it can also be a distant country where you served as a solider or a Peace Corps volunteer. Or it might be the vacation spot where you had a memorable love affair. Grounding the events of your memoir using all the idiosyncratic details of a real place helps add to the drama and meaning of a memoir.
