Writing faster doesn’t have to mean writing sloppier. In this episode of Making Memoir Magic, we’re talking about how memoir writers can write with more speed and more confidence—by putting a solid structure in place first.
If you feel stuck, slow, or caught in endless rewrites, the problem may not be discipline or motivation. It may be that you’re trying to write without a roadmap.
In this episode, you’ll learn how structure creates clarity, protects your voice, and builds the kind of momentum that actually gets memoirs finished.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why writing slowly is often a structure problem—not a motivation problem
What memoir structure really is (and what it’s not)
The three questions every memoir must answer to stay focused and coherent
How structure helps you write a strong, readable first draft
