25. Memoir, Just Get it Out There

Nica Waters is a teacher and sailor, and started writing memoir through a class. She uses writing to work her way through issues that she is dealing with, but she used her memoir writing class to compile stories about her grandmother. Motivated to share these stories with her grandmother while she was still alive, Nica compiled and polished a trove of stories that were like love letters to her grandmother.

Nica still writes, mostly about sailing these days and has a blog at https://www.fit2sail.com, and listen to her podcast about sailing, The Boat Galley.
