AWP 2014 …

… Some Notes on Memoir (Mostly) from Fiction Writers | BREVITY's Nonfiction Blog.

I wanted to simply listen, simply be there in the cramped rooms, smiling, nodding, sometimes laughing. But my primary focus was on notes because I don’t trust my memory. As I sat through three panels on the first day of AWP 2014, I was scribbling, jotting, trying to keep up. 
It's not about trusting your memory, it's about recording your memory accurately. Every memory is an examination of conscience.
