Record Your History.
This is an important project for us all.
Are you thinking that your story may not be of importance? Well, think again. Even if you don’t know the stories a few generations back, start with writing yours or your parents.
Your children may not be that interested in your stories but I am sure their children would be. Your kids were interested in their grandparent’s stories. You need to remember the stories that intrigued you. Write them down now as you never know how long you will be able to continue to write the stories or remember those stories.
Make this a project. It can be overwhelming so start small. Think of a story your grandparents told you. Write down what you know. Just keep a list of the stories as you write them down. Once they are all written, put them in order and then in a binder or a digital file.
I have started to write about my family in Medium. I think of a humorous story about my mum or dad and then write a short story about it. I intend to start a publication for family stories and I will transfer the stories I have written to that publication.
Continue to write the stories as you think of them. Once I start, I begin to remember other times. I also remember stories my mum or dad told me about their lives growing up.
