Thanks Louisa, this has been so helpful!
This is excellent! So helpful! I loved the connection with how you learn piano, because I’m a piano teacher. Makes a lot of sense!
I'm so glad! I play piano as well... and there are so many similarities with music and writing and narrative patterns...
Thank you very much. I'm intersted in your course.
Great! Everything is on my website 😊
Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. This information is most helpful, as I am working on a memoir but trying to style it as a non-fiction. I'm going to keep watching your other videos. Cheers to you!
You’re welcome!
As a filmmaker and editor, I think in terms of scenes. I've chosen to construct my memoir via scenes. You're on a solid track. Best of outcomes.
After 69 years, writing my memoir put the puzzle pieces together for the first time. Yikes, I realized I am autistic. Would have been splendid to have discovered I'm artistic...oh, well. Great video as usual. Thank you!
Maybe you’re artistic AND autistic? Nothing wrong with being autistic, either! 🤍
