Maybe I’m a jerk, but my first thought with this was there are a LOT of boring books in the works right now.  A new survey found 62% of Americans have dreamed of writing their own MEMOIR someday.

According to the results, the most important aspects of a good memoir are:  It’s about overcoming adversity . . . there’s plenty of adventure . . . and the stories make you laugh.

7 in 10 people said they know someone ELSE whose life story would make a good book.  And it’s even higher for one demographic.  89% of people who’ve been in the military know someone with an amazing life story.
