This Week's Topic: Name This Life: What Would Your Memoir Be Called? Okay, i admit it.... The idea of a memoir made me think all about reasons anyone might want to read a memoir of my life. I mean, yeah, I AM super interesting in my own head but so far there's not a heap happening that a complete stranger would be wanting to read. I haven't had any really big struggles, just the ordinary every day kind. And let me tell you i haven't faced those with lesson-teaching stoicism either *grin*. So why would anyone read a memoir? Tragedy... noble sacrifice... yeah, i don't think i'll ponder too long on that. It's a bit sad. But fame.... and fame through famous author/brilliant book stuff. Wouldn't that me nice? i mean, won't that be nice. In the future. When it happens. But since I can't see too far (am working on psychic abilities to no avail) I can't see what will be the thing that brings me into the spotlight. So if I were to memoir RIGHT NOW. i think it would have to be called... Almost Ordinary. Because I am almost a lot of things. And I am kinda ordinary. But am also the only me so that could make me kinda special too. What about you? What would your memoir be called?

I like it! Simple but effective while conveying a sense of humour. Great title.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletehmm, I think the bookshelf would be crowded with "Almost Ordinary" memoirs if we all wrote one, haha.
ReplyDeletetrue, no one is REALLY ordinary...
DeleteI LOVE that title! You should write a book with it :)
ReplyDeleteIn my spare time?
Delete=)
I have always thought you to be quite extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteYou DO say the sweetest things!!
DeleteOoh, I like! ^_^
ReplyDelete=)
DeleteThat's not a bad title for a memoir, actually--even if you write it after the fame hits you. It reminds us that even those people we consider extraordinary are, really, just like us... only a little different. :)
ReplyDelete'After the fame hits me' you say... like it's going to happen. i LIKE that!!
DeleteI like that a lot! Would definitely be a relatable book, I think:)
ReplyDeleteWe're all a BIT special... THAT sounds like a sadder book....
DeleteI like it a lot! That pretty much sums up my life too :D
ReplyDeletea kindred spirit.
DeleteGreat title! But now I want to read it. I like your resigning behind it, too.
ReplyDeleteI'll write it if i ever do anything worth a stranger reading about. i'll stick to fiction for now.
DeleteI wouldn't be too interested in reading a book called Ordinary--but that Almost adds an intriguing slant to it
ReplyDeleteThanks Angelica. A title can make all the difference.
