Lots of writers struggle with the opening to their books, no
matter what genre. I'm working with one client in my retainer coaching
program who is writing a very large story--it spans thirty years or
more. It's a memoir, and a lot has happened to her in her long life, so
choosing the starting moment is very challenging for her.
We begin by asking what this book is about. "My life," she answers, and that's true. But I ask again, "What's it really about?"
