Being in the industry, I've seen many situations where someone will get the call from the network where they say 'You guys have 5 episodes to wrap it up.' Then all your long-term story arcs gotta get wrapped up in five episodes because that's how many episodes you got left. I would hate to see that
A memoir should have some uplifting quality, inspiring or illuminating, and that's what separates a life story that can influence other people.
