If you’re not a member of our Facebook Family History Writer’s Group, then you’re missing out on our Facebook Live videos. Every other week, I offer a small writing lesson on writing your family history stories. We have an awesome group of writers from beginners to those who have been writing for a while. It’s a supportive and nurturing place to meet up and ask your questions and seek advice.
This week I thought I would share with you last week’s lesson. What is a Plot and Why Your Story Needs One?

Fabulous tips, Lynn!
What if the “goal” was just survival? Three of my great grandmothers were widowed with 5 or 6 children to feed and care for, plus a farm or orchard to run. Their goal was simply survival against difficult circumstances. They didn’t achieve any huge accomplishments in their lives, but they raised those children to adulthood. Is that enough of a goal? I admire them because it must have taken a lot of hard work, strength and fortitude to do this alone. Is that enough of a “goal” to write about?
It certainly could be. What did survival look like for them? Did anything get better for them over the course of their life?
