Lena Dunham is penning a new memoir

Lena Dunham is writing a new memoir.
The 33-year-old star – who published her first memoir, ‘Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s ‘Learned’, back in 2014 – revealed during an Instagram Live chat with Kaia Gerber that she’s currently working on another memoir and a book of fiction.
Lena shared: "I wrote a book of [fictional] short stories that is going to come out. I was going to publish that, but then sort of life … you kind of have to go where your attention is.
"I was distracted by a lot of personal stuff that was going on: transitions and health things, and break-ups, and so I thought, I have got to write all this down and that became a memoir."
Meanwhile, Lena recently celebrated two years of sobriety.
The actress – who created the HBO series ‘Girls’ – described her transformation as a "miracle" in a heartfelt Instagram post earlier this month.
She wrote: "Today I have 2 years clean and sober. It’s a miracle I can’t take for granted no matter how hard I try. Two years ago I didn’t think I needed to get sober. But a quiet voice inside me said, ‘lay it down for a moment’ and then other, louder voices helped me keep it up. To those voices – you know who you are and thank you x infinity … My heart pounds thinking of who I was two years ago.
"I was afraid to change but what actually happened was that I became myself again, a young and carefree self, a self who was clear in intention and bold in action and – most of all – free. We know, now more than ever, that we all need to be free. (sic)"
