You’ve got your dedicated space, you’ve blocked off time on your calendar for writing and you’ve created an outline. These are all great, what I’d call “technical”, things to keep in mind when you’re about to write a family history narrative. This episode of Behind the Story is about some non-technical considerations.
In this episode you’ll hear my insights about managing my own expectations, the painful - but rewarding - process of letting go of the details, and leveraging outside help from family and even Artificial Intelligence!
In this episode I reference a few stories on my blog:
The story that has been the easiest to write (so far) is that of my great-grandUncle.
The story that has been the most challenging (so far) is that of my grandfather.
The story where I’ve let go of the most details (so far) is that of my great-grandAunt.
