The challenge for the latter is not only pulling the pieces together into story form, but also to make sure I am including my references from the original writing – making sure they are all there and in the right order, or that I don’t accidentally remove them while moving or removing sentences and paragraphs.
Lynn, thanks for the encourage. I have collected the necessry information, made the outlike etc but am stuck. Is there a way to engage reader without extensive dialog?
eg. am greatgrandfather was a Irish immigrant who was hired by Wester Union to install telegraph lines behnd the Union Army. I have further information on this but see no place for dialog
