A gift for you this morning:  the link to Kate Gale’s blog.  https://kategale.wordpress.com

Kate is managing editor of Red Hen Press, as well as a poet, teacher, traveler, family person, bon vivant, blogger etc. She herself once said action is her default; she’s a force of nature, really smart, funny and has a talent for friendship besides everything else.

Check out her recent post, “Who Cares About Your Life? The overabundance of memoirs”.  And pay attention to what she says about writing personal stories that resonate out into the larger world and to make sure your story will “blow your readers’ skirts up.”
