So...My Projects are Due Next Week. Where Should I Start?

Writing Help
Scan down the page. There's lots of advice here. You may have to go to the bottom of the page and click on "older posts" to find what you are looking for. If this doth not satisfy you, google "memoir" writing and seek further assistance elsewhere.

Reading Help
If you are trying to catch up on your reading, and have yet to read the short memoirs for the project, you can download and read them below. All of the following are from either In Brief or In Short, two excellent collections of creative nonfiction edited by Judith Kitchen and Mary Paumier Jones, in case you're interested (thanks for the help Ricky).
