It was odd at book events to have strangers speak to me as if they knew me intimately, but of course it was because they had read my book and did know a lot. The decision to write a memoir is not an easy one; as Erica Jong wrote in her great memoir, (I'm paraphrasing of course as I don't remember the exact passage, every writer makes chopped meat out of her family at one point or another. I'll look forward to seeing if you do make the leap to memoirist and it will be wonderful if you would post about it too. Good luck, the conference sounds like it was quite the inspiration.Nancy Gail Ringhttp://www.jellypress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340286.post-53645836731432531412010-02-21T11:23:48.601-05:002010-02-21T11:23:48.601-05:00Glad the trip was great!!Glad the trip was great!!Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714281090985487356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340286.post-12833257989657647322010-02-18T05:38:15.449-05:002010-02-18T05:38:15.449-05:00So you've got at least one potential reader!

She's a real force of nature, that one.<br /><br />Wow, how I wish you had given a copy of "Pantry" to Ruth Reichl--I treasure mine, and thank you so much for it. It's so lush, nostalgic, and thus thought- (and dream- ) provoking. Everyone who has a home with a kitchen should own this book.Melissa Holbrook Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617752678155038816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340286.post-15977996109063782382010-02-16T13:36:08.518-05:002010-02-16T13:36:08.518-05:00Glad you are having such an exciting trip.

And there are so many points at which I found myself thinking, "I would love to know the whole story here...I wonder if she's ever considered writing a memoir." So you've got at least one potential reader!AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077988599467518893noreply@blogger.com
