Description

Today, Joyce continues her conversation with Anne about one of the most important challenges for writers of personal narratives or memoir - whether or not we have a right to tell a story that involves other people who might be made uncomfortable by it. 


Is it our job to make the readers feel comfortable with our stories?

Sometimes, the job of a writer is to take the reader to a place where they simply feel. 


And sometimes, it is in going to the uncomfortable place, that we learn things that we've been needing to know.
