ReviewsSinging to a Bulldog would never have been written if it weren't for Dr. Robert Temes's book How to Write a Memoir in 30 Days. For years, people have been saying to me that I should write a book about my life; and for even longer, I have wanted to share with the world Willie Turner's lessons and the profound effect he had on who I became as an individual, giving me the tools for a full-bodied life. I always thought, "Someday, when I have more time, I'll write that book." Then a friend gave me a copy of Dr. Temes's book and I was inspired to start immediately. It not only gave me a detailed, step-by-step guide to write my first memoir, but also the confidence that I could do it successfully. I encourage you to make the time to tell your story.

Step by Step and Easy to Follow
The book actually goes step by step to help you write a memoir. So many of these books tend to expect you to understand their big words and give no actual direction. I like that it goes day by day with exercises to help you get to the end where you will come up with an actual memoir.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
