Have you considered short stories? Also there are memoir compilations (When I Was Young , I think that's the title), so each memoir would be similar in length to a chapter, but might be on a higher level. There's a first and second of that book. It's famous YA and Juvenile authors - each writing a memoir. Also Sandra Cisnos book, name escapes me right now. I can't remember off the top of my head a specific one that would be problem/solution, but I would guess that some in there would be applicable. My books are at school, but I could check them at some point this week. I've read them all. I used many of the stories in them to prompt memoir writing. Haven't had my coffee yet, maybe my head and suggestions will be clearer later. lol
Good luck! Email me personally if you'd like me to look further into what I've mentioned. Norma Baker, Reading Specialist Grafton Elementary School Grafton, MA An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." ---------- ____________________________________________________________ 57 Year Old Mom Looks 27!
