Sometimes with so much research its hard to see the stories that are hiding within. Our research can be big and cumbersome and overwhelming. As a whole our research is not a story, we have to learn how to breakdown that research so that we can see the story ideas. That’s what we learn to do in today’s Storylines.

I found this very helpful for starting my family’s story. It made good sense to me to start small and then I will see progress and not feel overwhelmed! Thank you
Love the analogy of carving a pumpkin to pieces and the seeds. Works well for me. I will share this today with my writing group.
Thank you so much for this message, it came to me in perfect timing!
Would you apply this “seed search” approach to an early settler ancestor who is part of a fully grown forest…. emigration, murder, rape & fire were all part of his life. Your video has left me with a dilemma i.e. historical accuracy v “big pumpkins” Your videos always bring focus to the writing process. Thank you.
