I'm not sure that I've ever seen a male doing that. The first time I saw one writing them Miss Kathy it made me think she was about to die. I'm sure glad that isn't what it means.

I only saw one female writing her memoirs, let alone seeing a male

Good to know it works for both genders!

I saw someone as young as 32 writing her memoirs, and she lived until her 60s, so it's not an intimation of impending doom. Here in the UK some 'celebrities' such as footballers or models will often publish an autobiography in their early twenties if they think they can make some money out of it. They'll use a ghost-writer, though, and probably can't put a comprehensible paragraph down on paper by themselves (cynical, moi?).

Now that you mention it, I've mostly seen women writing their memoirs, but a couple have been men.

My peeps always say "writing memoirs" in their old age... I get worried that they're going to pass away

As I was checking up on my families before night time lagged too bad, one of females, at 63 was roaming the property looking at flowers & other things, kind of reminiscing. I followed her and checked each thing she did, the last 3 were the paintings in the bedroom, writing her memoirs and looking at the Magic Fish painting. The next morning when I enter her house, she had died at 66, which would have been sometime that night. Her husband also died. I just had a feeling she would be gone. I keep notes on all families and members, matching ages makes it easier to know the age as the game doesn't always tell it.
