My relationship to my material allowed me to think about my experience differently for each time I created the piece. The reason for this is because of the fact that when I recalled the material for my first draft, I had recalled most of the materials in a more summarized state encompasing more facts. The the revised draft, I recalled the same materials and facts but then I recalled even more about my experience. I also was able to make more clearly defined connections between the materials I recalled and I think that this made it look a little more coherent than my first draft.
I trying to find something to write about but am having trouble. Does a memoir have to be in the present tense speaking of something in the past or in the past tense speaking as if it were in the present?
