If you think there is, how would you describe that difference? Your comments may have some influence on what I do next.

Hi Bawlin Sox,

This blog entry (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/157824/the_difference_between_autobiographies.html?cat=4) does a good job of presenting the main distinctions between autobiography and memoirs, and I suspect you'll find lots of additional insights by poking through the archived questions in this sub-forum.

Good luck with your next project, whatever you end up writing!
