]]> Comment on National Association of Memoir Writers Book Review: Fearless Confessions, by Sue William Silverman by Judy Miller http://www.namw.org/book-reviews/fearless_confessions_silverman/comment-page-1/#comment-393 Judy Miller Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:08:31 +0000 http://www.namw.org/?p=4532#comment-393 I'm so glad you both are speaking together, giving us more information and encouragement. I am stuck and maybe if I read Sue's last book I will be able to progress. You see, my memoir has just been published. I was proud of it and even sold a few. I sent out postcards, emails, facebook entries, and some videos on youtube. I was on a roll. Speaking about my memoir at the SCN convention was the first public talk I have given and I'm glad I broke the ice. Now I have stopped moving forward. I had two goals and they're to speak out at public gatherings and write a follow-up book for the memoir. I can't move and I don't know what to do next.
