		<description><![CDATA[When I began to teach memoir writing, I extended my understanding of how this works. The participants often shared their most painful moments. After they read their passage aloud, something changed in the room. People became more relaxed and open with each other, as if they had gone through the actual experience together. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/why-combat-memoir/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
