For January, I asked the following set of questions:
- What do you think is the lure of memoirs for readers?
- Do you think there is a bit of egotism on the part of the writer who focuses on memoirs as a means to “tell stories”?
- Why did you, as writer, feel compelled to write your story
- Why did you feel compelled to share this story with others?
Versandra began her explanation to the questions by stating, “The lure of memoirs for readers is the same as that of reality shows. People want to know what’s really going on in the lives of our leaders, celebrities, and heroes. They want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly because it helps them see that they too have a chance at greatness.”
