These stories are autobiographical essays about growing up. Yes, they are essentially memoirs but I promise you, they’re not normal ones. Many memoirs are data dumps that read like public birth, marriage and death records. This type of data is important, but it’s just not what I want to read or write. These stories are designed to be entertaining. Each one meets these guidelines:-
- Short. 3000 words or less to result in 10 minute reads or less for most readers
- Autobiographical. Expect some fun hyperbole, but these stories actually happened.
- Entertaining or moving somehow with no boring data dumps
- Written in first-person, they’re kind of rowdy, often told from the perspective of a very young boy trying to figure out the world, or as if two friends were sharing and laughing over drinks.
- Clean with almost no adult language or scenes
- Visual so you are left feeling like you witnessed each story first hand
