Pop quiz? If you wrote a memoir, what would you title it? Mine would be My Truth Is in My Fiction. Wanda’s: Pure Unadulterated Trash.
On Saturday night, I joined my sisters Michele and Heather and my friends Mollie and Lynda out on the town. Lynda brought along her ex-mother-in-law, Wanda.
“I live in Cumberland, Maryland,” Wanda told me.
“It’s lovely there,” I said.
“It’s a dump.”
Wanda and I talked about writing. She mentioned that she has always wanted to write her memoir, which she would title Pure Unadulterated Trash.
Um … how awesome is that? Also, can you believe this book title has not already been taken? Seriously, I checked on Amazon.com. This title is 100% up for grabs.
I told Wanda she absolutely must write this book. Write it now! But she said her hand isn’t as steady as it once was, and she can’t really type or write too well. Tell the story then. Record it and let someone else transcribe it. Seriously.
Pure Unadulterated Trash. This is a story that needs to be told.
