Writing a memoir can be a total ego trip or an ego-deflating experience. Often a memoir is centered on a particular event in a person's life that gives meaning to a path taken. If we're honest, we're forced to review our mistakes as well as the times we got it right.

I never imagined I wriet anything, but during a time of illness with cancer, (11 years ago - I'm fine now) I let my mind wander and enjoyed the hell out of discovering thatmy memories amused me. One day i decided to write one down, which opened the flood gates. The more I wrote the more memories I had, and in 3 months, I had written 450 pages. Eventually I put the short cahpters in order, and did a painting for each one - 106 chapters - 106 paintings. My memoir is called The Whore Next Door. It covers my life from age 18 to 35 - my wild years. I'm 70 now. If you are curious o know more about the book, or you'd like to read some of my Blogs, go to my website: http://anniecampbell.org/
