Every time you look at a clock it’s a time check. It’s time to do this, time to do that, time for dinner, time for bed, time to repeat it all another day. And that, dear readers, is the story of life. But, what about all the stuff that happens in between the time check? […]
PROJECT PLAN: HOW TO WRITE A MEMOIR
July 14, 2021 by
Every project plan starts with an idea, a glimmer of light shining in the darkness. It either has a flashing moment of recognition before fading to the places, or finds life on a list of things to do. A ‘To Do’ list, and ‘Action List’, an ‘Order of Operations List.’ This is when an idea […]
