  1. Lynn, This info is so important to me right now. I am looking forward to next week’s installment to find out how to better craft the inciting incident in my ancestor’s story. Since February’s writing sessions, I have found my writing to be more exciting both for me to write and for others to read. You have changed my entire perspective on writing family history. I recently used some of your suggestions in a history presentation that I did. The audience response was much more enlivened. Thank you.

  2. I am rather stumped about the third one when it comes to a surprised ending. Did I miss the example using family history s topics?
