Writing a Personal Book Is More Effort
Way more effort. I'm working through the edits and corrections from my mother and oldest sister right now about my brother's fall into mental illness. Of course, no one's memories are ever perfect; we all remember slightly different details. Some of us remember stuff that the others don't. Compared to writing a straight scholarly history, this is hard work. Especially because it brings back so many painful memories. Sitting by myself in a little house in Bend while doing doesn't make it any easier.
