There are many reasons to be nice. Here is one more opportunity from Marion Roach Smith in her writing resolutions for memoir writing.
Memoir Writing Resolution #2

Writer's Forum - Upcoming

I had a great visit with Carol Glover, memoirist, and Beatrix Gates, poet, on December 8. My first time hosting alone went well, was enormously fun, and even received a compliment or two. I remain grateful for the opportunity.

On January 12, 2012 we will start off the New Year with political novelist Martha Sterling-Golden and Joshua Bodwell, Executive Director of Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance.

Writer's Forum is broadcast live every second Thursday at 10 a.m. at 89.9 Blue Hill and 99.9 Bangor (Maine). It streams live and is archived at www.WERU.Org

Getting Ready for the New Year

My friend Marion Roach Smith, author of The Memoir Project, is getting ready for the new year and helping us do the same with a serious of five posts on Memoir Writing Resolutions. I have taken workshops from Marion at Pyramid Life Center and I'll be using her book when I teach at Senior College in Belfast Maine in January. Here is the first of five:
