Writing Before You’re Ready

4 thought on “Writing Before You’re Ready”

1. Thank you! Once again, you hit the nail on the head for me. Giving permission to research and write at the same time is great. It is an ongoing process and allows us to “stop and start”. This is a keeper to be viewed over and over. Thank you, Lynn!

2. It has been easy researching my family for the last sixteen years but it has been hard to to sit down and write about what I have discovered. Our family history has always been something that has been handed down in an oral tradition to the next generation. Those family stories are like the box of family pictures that get dispersed among the children when a parent dies, leaving each of us having our own piece of a puzzle from our past. My desire to gather and share the parts of the puzzle of my past has been what is now motivating me to begin writing about my immediate family first, with the knowledge that the stories will grow into something that will get passed on to everyone.

   My current motivation is to record something, no matter how good or bad it may be, with the limited budget of my resources and time that are available.

3. Thanks for the push.

   You have just identified all the things that have stopped me writing anything before. I have used all these excuses in the past. That is behind me now, I will make a start!!
   Thanks once again for the encouragement to get started.
