  1. Ooh! I know! Not blogging this but:
    A Liar's Autobiography
    And everyone here is too young to get the reference, especially me, but that still doesn't stop me from referencing it. :)

  4. Interesting question. I'm all about music so my memoir title would have to be as well. Here's my answer: Memoir Title

  6. I always thought if I wrote a memoir it would be called All the Guys I Never Dated (with chapters on all my major school crushes), because it would be a lot more exciting than a recounting of the guys I did date. I have also toyed with a memoir of my life growing up with a brother with autism entitled My Brother the Spy.

    2. That sounds like a great title for a comedic memoir. Even for a YA novel :)

    2. I totally cheat--I open a new post in blogger and convert my text to a link like usual, and then copy it here. I usually have the Blogger dashboard open anyway since I'd just finished my post.

  18. I think I'd call mine The Closet Sinistral. Even though deep down I knew even before I knew, I was in the closet about the true extent of my left-handedness for most of my life, and rather confused and discouraged because a lot of people still don't understand that handedness is not measured solely or primarily through one's primary writing hand.

  19. I didn't blog on this because I was working on a campaign challenge today, but I came up with Almost Awesome.
