Memoir Details, I Need YOUR Opinion!!!

It is so late at night, well let me rephrase: it is so late in the morning J Thanks to tv1, I am watching Fame, Debbie Allen BETTER give it to me, or don’t give it to me at all (credit Melanie Fiona) but anywoo this post is about creativity, and I would love your HONEST opinion in order for my creative juices to continue to FLOW.

As you all know I am in the process of editing my book. With editing comes revisions and more ideas. One of the reasons I started my book, well I like to refer to it as a memoir, because good ole Webster says that is a persons account of their experiences. I keep going off on tangents, I believe that is why I haven’t finished.

Let me begin this straight NO CHASER:

I am writing this memoir in order to give a personal account of my experiences, in order to help others in this thing we call life. Everyone goes through it, and I get so many messages on how to help people get through, and I want you all who partake in this to know that everyone has pressures, and hopefully I can help get YOU through. I wanted my first work to be more than just your average self help book, I wanted people to know that everyone goes through and its not always as perfect as it seems on the outside.

So my question to you all is simple: would you like it straight no chaser aka bare chicken with no SKIN? Or would you like the approach just like it is on my show? Juicy with all the skin like I'm chatting with you……

I believe I know the answer but this is my first body of work, and I do want to know what my viewers would like to read!!

See the thing is you can be as "straight" and blunt as you should be and still have that charm you have in your videos. you are yourself and we are all human we can understand where u are coming from whichever way you choose to express yourself

I saw give it to us raw and uncut. The truth can sometimes be harsh, but it's the truth.

I'm sure u have already written most of your book already. But, I enjoy books that I can relate to. No one wants to read something that's is speaking in a tone over them. But to them. But I love your videos and vlogs so I know this book will be exceptional.

I forgot to mention, that I like how you take us on a journey when you make you videos. Your entertaining, funny, real, and that's why I'm a fan of yours. But I like my chicken juicy. It has much more flovor with the skin, if you know what I mean. your videos give me life and I'm sure this book will to

Hey Miss P, I Love books that I can actually get into. It has to have something to keep me wondering whats coming next. That's one of the things I Love about your shoe, you keep me wanting to come back and watch to see what other crazy thing you talking about now. So I want you to make the book with all the details, although it may be longer, in my opinion it will be worth the while. I will read your book regardless but I think if you give us the tiny details just as you do in your show it will be an amazing details. For example, when you talk about your experiences at the MAC store, you tell us every detail from how fab you looked that day to what your expressions were. Give it to us just like that. I think it will keep the reader that more interested. Hope my opinion helped. Keep up your amazing work.
Always a supporter,
Asha

I know when I read books, especially memoirs, or those designed for self help, I like to get it straight with nothing hidden because it helps us relate to the writer more as well as help see what's going on in our lives and how we can better ourselves.

Give it to us raw and uncut no secrets hidden but do it with the missp charm. You already give it to us pretty straight in your videos and your personality is very infectious and that's what we all love about you.

hey miss p, but is there anyway you can use both techniques (couldn't think of a different word)in the book. i mean, i would like to read something that is raw and straight up front and not sugar coated but at the same time i want something that is juicy and would keep my attention and interest.
