The title of Woiwode's memoir, What I Think I Did, is a playful variation of the title of his 1969 novel, What I’m Going to Do, I Think. The autobiographical work is structured in two parts separated by an intermezzo that functions more like a pause than a transition. The first section contains the author's memories of his childhood, including the death of his mother; his changing relationships with his own children at various ages; his connection to the prairie and, by extension, to nature; and the development and nurturing of his craft as a writer.
