Just sending out some feelers for other memoir writers in the Brisbane region?
How are you going? What obstacles have you encountered? What's going really well for you?
Surely I'm not the only NaNo-er writing memoir / non-fiction?

I thought a memoir was autobiographical - so how is it non-fiction?
Not giving you a hard time, just interested in finding out more :)

I have to admit that I hit a brickwall in my memoirs (so to speak)
over a week ago so I have ditched that idea and now I'm powering
ahead with a fantasy fiction novel!

Don't give up on that memoir entirely!
Finally the second-week blues have passed for me and I'm back to writing passionately. Since realising that I'm actually writing two separate books here and biting off more than I can chew, I have given myself permission to simplify and the inspiration to write has returned with force.
I'm still behind the eight-ball - but undertaking NaNo with four little kids at home and pressing work responsibilities, that was always expected to be the case. I'm not so far behind that all hope is lost.
