Would you rather write a biography or a memoir'autobiography
What about you? Have you been told to write a memoir? If so, what would it be called? Have you started writing it?
And do you have any favorite people that you would write about?

From an objective standpoint, my life has been interesting in some respects (I've lived in 3 countries on 3 continents) but I'm not really comfortable sharing personal information with strangers. I feel that I couldn't write a memoir without addressing some of the more unpleasant or embarrassing aspects of my life, and who wants to hear that!

Who? Likely a friend of mine, who has always been involved in many strange, interesting things. I'm not sure many people would believe it though.

If I wrote my memoir in an honest way, it would depress the cheeriest person. And I've decided I want to use my powers for good. So, no memoirs for me.
If I were to write a biography of someone else... maybe Cloris Leachman. (I just want to ask her why her parents named her that.)
Seriously, one of my living role models is Betty White. I also like Dick Van Dike. So I'd write about one of them.
