Old Friend from Far Away: The Practice of Writing Memoir

Another book I picked up because the author is beloved. Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones was the first book I read about writing that inspired me. I've read all her books since then (including one very disappointing novel) but nothing's clicked with me like Bones. This book was close; I felt a click here and there. Old Friend is fundamentally an expanded Bones. It has lots of fun exercises for those who are suffering from writer's block. I'd like to keep it a little longer and try more of the exercises.

Second Read:
I'm taking a memoir writing class this semester, and this book is perfect for the class. Happily, I now have this book on my Kindle.
