@Chad Sanborn, totally agree, sir. "Flow and pace are best adjusted during the 2nd and/or 3rd revisions." Sometimes, in the first draft, the chapters flow, but many times it does not work that way. Another challenge in memoir writing is the transition and time. I read many memoirs and a few of them had no proper settings or time (neither explained nor shown), I got lost. Thank you.

@Sarah A. Bailey Thank you.

@Author Mas Jasmine I am just writing it ( 60% Complete). Not decided yet. Thank you!

@Rich Gomez Subha Kamana...!

@Rich Gomez, I am trying to combine traditional memoir writing with cinematic visual style, so readers should be immersed with me in the Bollywood struggle.😷

@Rich Gomez Thank you for your interest. This is my first memoir and just trying a different approach after reading so many popular/traditional memoirs. Unlike fiction, writing a memoir is hard: writing must be sincere, honest, authentic, with vulnerability and original voice and tone. Must show lived experience rather than tell. I am working on a memoir about my childhood passion for cinema, life struggles, and self-discovery. I was born and raised in Nepal, influenced by Hindi cinema (Bombay/Bollywood), ran away to Bombay to work in films, and after a long struggle, isolation, and exploitation in Bombay, I became an assistant director on many Hindi films. Later, I worked as an independent writer-director on Nepali films and eventually worked as a Production Assistant on an American independent film in the USA🫢 In short: "A boy from Nepal who runs away to Bollywood to chase cinema, survives exploitation and discovers that passion shapes identity more deeply than success."

Congratulations...! Shubha Kamana for your biography/memoir...! I have just completed 60% of the memoir. But I am a little confused--autobiography (biography) and memoir are two different styles of writing correct? So, which exactly one is your memoir or biography?
