00:00Writing a hilarious memoir about messy experiences requires a lot of honesty.
00:04Was there a particular scene that was too messy to include or did you put it all on the page?
00:09But in terms of memoir writing for my own self, I wrote what happened to me and how I felt
00:15about it.
00:16If someone told me something personal or someone shared something with me, that didn't end up in this book.
00:21I would have conversations with people that I would have in this book, but there's not something personal from someone
00:27else that they didn't ask to share that, right?
00:29So that's not in there, but there's things that I did that I'm not proud of that are in there.
00:34And I think the book is richer for it.
00:37It's actually once you do it and you get the courage, once you get through it, you feel so much
00:42better.
00:42You truly do.
00:44Yeah. I mean, I didn't commit a crime or anything. It wasn't that bad.
00:47I just morally, some of the things weren't great.
00:49And some of the interactions I had with people, I was hurt by them and I put them in.
00:54And the things maybe people said to me that weren't a personal thing, but they said to me about me
01:01and my reaction to that.
01:03Those are the types of things I put in there.
01:05I did.
