In this episode, Mike and David discuss:&amp;nbsp;  Why did David decided to share his story&amp;nbsp; The lessons he learned about himself while writing his memoir The differences between writing a memoir and writing a screenplay How David came full circle in his beliefs about monogamy  Key Takeaways:&amp;nbsp;  Writing about your personal life is a complicated process as you must put yourself in a vulnerable position and expose very personal details. But if writing something truly personal is your goal, then go for it \u2014 just be prepared for some fallout. There is nothing wrong with using a dating website. It is sometimes the place where you can unintentionally reveal your true self, without attempting to conceal aspects of yourself or your past.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes, through your writing process, you'll discover something about yourself that you couldn't have predicted would change your life. And, when writing a memoir, don't be too harsh on yourself. Don't worry about the outcome; what matters is that you finish what you started. It is in writing a memoir that will allow you to be brutally honest while still trying to tell an entertaining story.  &quot;If you go in with the best of intentions, and care and caution, you're likely to meet somebody really interesting.&quot; \u2013 David Winkler Grab a copy of The Arrangement: A Love Story&amp;nbsp; Amazon: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PQUrRJ Bookshop.org: https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/54587\/9781644282687 Connect with David Winkler: Website: https:\/\/www.davidwinklerauthor.com\/ Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/davidadamwinkler\/ Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dawinkler Connect with Mike Carlon: Website: https:\/\/uncorkingastory.com\/ Youtube:  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/uncorkingastory\/ Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/uncorkingastory Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uncorkingastory LinkedIn:  https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/uncorking-a-story\/ Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
