Laurie, This captures the essence of the dilemma.... I, too, will take the step of sharing with those who appear in my memoir. My arms have goosebumps just considering the action. But, in my 6th decade, I have more confidence than I did at 20, 30, etc. The human experience is always going to be messy. I'm tired of curating for everyone else. Head up Heart open. Sharing your articulate take on this precipice is brave, too.
I love your idea of telling your life story through many scenes, organized by theme. I would be hesitant to give siblings a rough draft..unless you have nerves of steel...youngest of 5 here, and just now, at 62, really getting the not so pleasant role I had in family dynamics.
Thanks! Ill be interested in what you think as Ive worked hard and struggled a bit with how to structure the book! Working on the final manuscript now!!

I am taking the deep breath with you - It is scary and every time a creative gives birth I am sure they go through the same thing.
Lots of love for your (our) jump.
