Remember that in your own memoir story, when you use descriptive up close Scenes, juxtaposed with Summary-like Panoramic descriptions, then inserting appropriate reflective MUSING's contemplations and your own retrospective voice's insightful discoveries, all these memoir-writing techniques will help deepen your story's meanings and understandings.
In addition, your reader will then see and understand, as well as receive and embrace your deeper truths as your SCENES, SUMMARIES, & MUSINGS come to light and life for them to experience alongside your narrator's vivid points-of-view.
That's why MUSING must be interspersed within one's descriptive close-up SCENES and far off Panoramic SUMMARY descriptions.
At the same time, remember that "the essence of memoir is the 'track of a person's thoughts, struggling to achieve some understanding of a problem" (Barrington 90). Then Barrington continues: "For most of us, there is a new level of understanding that comes along with the writing, but it's also true that we need to have done plenty of thinking about our lives before we start" (90).
