Great interview. I can't wait to check out Soft as Bones! I love Chyana's advice of picking one memory and starting from there so you can create a mosaic to find your story. It's like I always tell people looking for ways to start writing their memoir to not think of it as you telling your life story. You can instead start by brainstorming your strongest memories, pick the ones with the most energy and emotion and flesh them out. From there you can usually find your outline or structure.
