Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start doing the research and
you find answers such as why are so many people
writing memoirs? Plus should we make a move to put
(00:22):
our own experiences in a book? I'm Ryl, a daily writer,
a silent wolf. That means I stand on the sidelines
and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I
call it the daily mess, a chronological walk through in
everyday world. Yes, it's my morning writing. As a receiver
of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw
things to the side and deal with it later. When
(00:42):
a subject arrives inside of me, I know it is
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess? Why are so many people writing memoirs?
As an interviewer, I'm invited to share amazing talks with
all shapes of experiences and literally feel an amazing amount
(01:05):
of emotion from their personal experiences. But it surely seems
like a podcast. When it comes to memoirs, everybody has
got one. Then again, I do believe and live by
the mantra share your story or someone will write it
for you, which is why I won't let someone interview me.
Although it's my physical pitch, volume, and tone, I don't
know how they'll present the journey through their interpretation. One
(01:28):
person says that writing a memoir can be incredibly insightful
and therapeutic. The goal is to keep the critics out
of the room, the toughest critic being yourself. Then I
ran into a story that asks our memoir still a thing? Really?
Another author goes deeper, accusing the Internet of creating misimpression,
(01:48):
claiming we think people care. Guess what, that's a miss impression?
Coming up next? Should we all make the attempt to
put our experiences in a book? Hey, thanks for coming
back to the Daily Mess. Should we make the attempt
to spill our guts out inside the covers of a book?
(02:08):
It was Andy Warhol who said everybody would be famous
for fifteen minutes. Well, in today's world. A social media
post featuring one hundred and fifty characters can get you
a lot of attention. What if you want to hire
a ghostwriter to tell your tales, Well it can happen
if you've got one husand to two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
The reason why people are writing memoirs is this need
(02:29):
to leave your mark. It's one last stab at mortality.
One expert isn't shocked by the need for baby boomers
to get their story out there because baby boomers are
known as the me generation. Rock and roll agent Jerry
Wexler had the best reason why people should always put
their stories into music. Do all you can to get
it on tape, but don't expect to sell it to anybody.
(02:51):
Nobody's going to buy it. My parents didn't write their story,
so for the rest of my life, I can only
assume I'm Errow, and that's the daily mess
