Every week I read the Memoirs to Millions Weekly Intel Brief live -- because getting better at reading your own work is part of the process.

This week's brief: Shaken Not Stirred

You were never afraid of the shake. You were afraid of what it turns you into.

People know the James Bond line as being about a cocktail. But what was playing underneath was something else entirely -- about survival. The glass shakes but the contents stay whole. Shaken, not stirred. Life hits and you are still you -- rattled, moving inside your own skin, but still you. Stirred is different. Stirred is when something reaches inside and rewrites the content. Same event, two different impacts. One leaves you intact. The other changes what you are made of.

Your memoir lives in those two words. The shake weeks are where your chapters are. The question is which voice you write them in.
