Thanks – great info as always
Thank you so much! I think I can get unstuck!
Thank you so much Lynn, I always feel so motivated to do more writing after listening to “storylines”!
Good guidelines and ideas.
That was great information! It will help me keep some interest in my paternal grandfather’s life growing up. I have a question though … we never knew my grandfather’s siblings. I found them all. How would you introduce them in my story? They all have interesting facts about them and I’d like to include that. I don’t know if I should give some facts about them at the beginning of or leave at the end of the chapter I have specifically for my grandfather.
