I want my memoir to have something like the following on, say, page 190:"We started dating and fell in love. I felt a little weird since she was still in high school, but as soon as she graduated, we decided to move to Portland, Oregon. We ran an espresso cart business and I started publishing more of my writing in magazines. I also met many more writers and began publishing more books by other writers. Even though I was happy, I felt anxious. My girlfriend and I had our ups and downs. There were breakups and infidelities and apologies. There was a miscarriage that I didn't know how to handle. I was unfairly distant and selfish.
But then we got back together and my son was born." [the quote from A Common Pornography, by Kevin Sampsell, HarperCollins, 2009]
