My favorite way to store memories is the way I haven’t come up with yet. When Katie was little her Easter crosswords doubled as “year in review” celebrations. More recently I’ve thanked her for a fun visit with substitute liner notes from a Taylor Swift album. Still more recently I put the recap of our Christmas on an IMDb page. And Katie? She could write (illustrate!) a book with how she stores memories as comics. You’ll find more ideas in this edition of Doing What Works.

Here are your show notes…

An autobiography is chronological. A memoir is a slice of life. [https://www.skillshare.com/blog/memoir-vs-autobiography-whats-the-difference/]
