The title of my blog is Experiences & Discoveries of a Single Mom which is most definitely a story of me.  I write not because I think my story is so significant, but sharing it is part of my journey of self re-discovery.  I'm new to this site, group, as well as blogging, but I'm looking forward to making connections and continuing on this ever changing path.

I'm in! They say it's best to write about what you know. Often it feels like ALL I know is my own life, especially the previously lived parts of it. So if and when I start to write or assemble my writings together for something bigger, it will be about my life. So far it's been pretty cool...

@kimberly rues, I wonder this same thing. If I write about the happenings of that morning, is it memoir?  I mean, it happened to me in my life.  Or does a certain amount of time have to pass for "reflection" before it can be seriously considered memoir?

@kate sluiter -- I would think that writing about momming the kids IS memoir writing. Is there a certain amount of time that must pass between the event and the writing for it to qualify as a memoir? Or is simply the recording of our experiences enough to make it a memoir?

Kate and Tracy -

Apologies, I had fogotten this past weekend was Easter, and I didn't have the time I expected to have to add content.  Will try to remedy this week, but everyone should feel free to add discussions, etc.

I have nostalgia issues. I write memoir posts quite a bit.

I joined this group because this is what I WANT to do, but I have only dabbled in it.  Mostly my blog is about my kids and my POV about momming them, but I do write about my own past from time to time.

Hi Kimberly - you are most welcome here!

Although I am not exclusively a memoirist, I do write quite often about my life and my kids' lives....figured it would be great to be connected with others who are trying to capture those moments!

Also, welcome Maureen!

I'll do some work this weekend on adding some real content here.
