I’ve joined the Family History Writing Challenge in hopes
that it will get me to actually begin writing.
The challenge covers the month of February. Each person
joining the challenge pledges to write a certain number of words per day for
the 28 day span. My goal is very modest: only 250 words a day. I hope I’ll do
more than that.
Where to begin???? I’m
thinking of starting with history; explaining the social and economic
conditions that led my great grandparents and so many others to leave their
homeland.
It is far too easy to get stuck in research mode. It’s a great excuse to use for not
writing: “I haven’t got enough
information yet”. Well, I don’t have
enough information, but by beginning to write I’m hoping to more clearly see
the gaps in my research.
I don’t have to show anyone what I’ve written so why do I
feel so much trepidation about starting???
