Tips to Jump Start Your Writing Session

1. Thanks, Lynn.
   Very timely presentation. After all of this time “sheltering in,” I’ve finally been able to resume my story writing efforts, although, I have been doing research somewhat often along the way, which, as you know, is that never-ending trail that affects all of us! I think what you’ve said about having a filled calendar with things to do vs. a relatively empty calendar is right on. In addition to a calendar, I’ve usually kept an “to-do” list and have slacked off on that, too; but I have been entering notes to write this story or finish that story, or even make this a story instead of pretty much a statement of facts! The challenge for the latter is not only pulling the pieces together into story form, but also to make sure I am including my references from the original writing – making sure they are all there and in the right order, or that I don’t accidentally remove them while moving or removing sentences and paragraphs.

2. Lynn, thanks for the encourage. I have collected the necessry information, made the outlike etc but am stuck. Is there a way to engage reader without extensive dialog?
   eg. am greatgrandfather was a Irish immigrant who was hired by Wester Union to install telegraph lines behnd the Union Army. I have further information on this but see no place for dialog
