This is so cool! So funny I was listening this while writing an overly loquacious email to you. My memoir in 3 words?! GTFO with that! But this is more than 3 words, maybe I could manage it... can you provide a little more clarity on what the task was? Or link to her post explaining it? Was it three words for each chapter?

I will definitely be sending this to Diane! She did a similar thing about a year ago, and it really inspired her and produced some interesting results.

Thank you for your loquacious email and for subscribing/delving into my substack experiment. It's funny how you pull these threads and then totally forget about them. At least, I do, but it's interesting to revisit this. The 3-word memoir came from an exercise I did with another memoir maven, Linda Joy Myers - the 5-word memoir. Maybe we should do the exercise in our group sometime?💜

Love hearing you read the 3 word memoir. Hearing your voice adds a deeper connection for me to the images. Yes, these are a complete, connected poem for me when I read or hear you read.

I thought it would be fun to try. Gotta start somewhere, right? Thanks for your inspiration, dear friend.
