Writing

I'm taking a class in memoir writing because I thought it would help me do the writing I've intended to do for a long time. People tell me I should write down the stories I tell all the time. So...Anyway, I'm really enjoying the class. There are some really good writers in the class and they are finally giving me some good feedback - some I agree with and some I don't, but I get a chance to see how what I write comes across to other people. Without that I'm just in the dark about whether I'm doing good or not. I was a little nervous about being constructively criticized but I'm finding it pretty easy to take. I guess years of self-examination - and I'm my worst critic - has helped with this too.
