Washing My Sick Wife's Hair Supporting my spouse as she recovers the hair — and the self-image — cancer treatment took from her.

#memoirists
My wife said she only needed her hair washed this morning, no conditioner. I like to do her conditioner, too, but now that washing her hair for her is voluntary I must do as she wishes. When we started it wasn't voluntary.

Need a Little Tenderness in Your Writing? Let Music Open the Floodgates Tune memory can crack even hardened shells around feeling

Music this week opened a hidden door for me to a revelation I have been missing my entire life. The experience also gave me new insight into the role that music can play as a memory synthesizer for writers generally and #memoirists in particular!

Writing Prompt: Jeopardy Visual inspiration + mental exercise to start your writing week

I woke up this morning with the curious word JEOPARDY in mind. Hence, this #writingprompt for #storytellers and #memoirists and #novelists in the #blueskywritingcommunity

There are events that shape us, and there can be events that define us. The difference for memoirists is that, often, people think an event written about is an event by which we define ourselves - that is, if one is lucky enough to have readers.  #WritingCommunity #writers #poets #poetry #memoirists

Anybody who's connected to any communities of readers/writers, your reposts/shares are appreciated! This is for my upcoming online writing workshop.

Thanks for the help!

Best memoirs of 2025—so far Memoirs by Geraldine Brooks, Melissa Febos, Craig Thompson and more top our list of true stories told well.

Really, folks. I'm following all of the political feeds I need.

The amazing thing about @bsky.app is I can go to the #USPolitics feed whenever I want and see all of that content.

Then I can go somewhere else like #Jungian & #Memoirists to see what those people are doing with their lives.

We now have 80 resilient memoirists writing about toxic families, abuse, and estrangement! Room for more if you're writing on those topics, whether you write books, essays, flash, micro, whatever length. #memoir #memoirists #writingcommunity #CPTSD #trauma #survivor #estrangement

Sometimes it takes me a while to be able to lower my defenses and accept feedback. It took a few weeks, but I finally tried a CP's suggestion on my WIP and OMG I love it so much more now! #booksky #writingCommunity #Memoirists #CNF #writers

Up to 75 resilient survivors writing about trauma and family estrangement! Still room for more if you'd like to be included in the pack. #memoir #memoirists #writingcommunity #amwriting #CPTSD #trauma #resilience #writingsupport #estrangement

I've reached 50 writers and decided to share, but will keep adding as requested. If you haven't yet asked to be included but would like to be, let me know in the comments!

Okay, I finished drafting my new essay about cancer caregiving, working title Provide and Protect. I've got to say, like my earlier essays, this first draft is really, really terrible. On to editing!
