I THINK (I'm not sure) but I think memoirs are supposed to be like, step 1- list important events in life, step 2- create a novel surrounding the above events with the correct cast and setting.

Memory doesn't start until 4 years of age (if I recall correctly).

Maybe not full memories, but I remember bits and pieces from being 2.

Yeahhh, I'm reading "The Glass Castle" currently. It's amazing how the author remembered everything. It's a really good book, by the way. :]
