Speaking with Emily Rems

How embarassing! I should have sent Emily a description of my book ahead of time before speaking through zoom. They are so generous and gracious, though, to talk about getting my elevator pitch ready. To change the name of the book.

So going forward with FILMS THAT HEAL: MY YEAR OF MOVIE MAGIC

What do I need to develop, while cut the things that might not belong--like the fast food section.

I think the writing allowed some catharsis which I can also cut--like revising (boundary making) or even cutting Ferris Bueler section.

 

 

 

Sections to work on

 Kimberley Section - - deep shame and grief, moving forward

women's writing in memoir, groups, and such - - movies about women - - - twentieth century women is noah's own love letter to being raised by women

 

  

Trees

Work on for memoir

Look to see what I have
