Inside the Maze 6/14/10
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on June 14th, 2010 in Inside the Maze.
Why a memoir? I probably should have asked myself that question when I wrote chapter one. A year later, as the finish line approaches, I am asking that question.
I am an ordinary person who has lived an ordinary life. I have accomplished no great feats, held no public office, achieved no great fame. An auto-biography might well be tedious, but the memoir is not. It is but one slice of one life… no explosions, no vampires, no magic spells. It is the kind of book I like to read, so it is the kind of book I chose to write. I hope to be sharing it with potential literary agents in the very near future.
“If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages.”

Wendy Booker, Mountain Climber with MS: “I have attempted Everest twice. I took multiple sclerosis (MS) to the highest it would allow me to go. As the medical staff at base camp have documented, the bar has been set. I am a mountaineer, an adventurer, an explorer. And I’m not done yet.” – Wendy Booker, May 2010
