Writing a memoir can tell so many stories. It is fun and easy to do. Without one, your future family members will never know you very well. Give them something to hold onto by doing this. Our lives are so full of daily things that happen to us that are worth getting down on paper. We take for granted every day that there are things that happen to us that are worth of writing down. Some movies have been written about average, ordinary people and the writer turned it into something amazing.
Every day there are things that happen to you that you could write down and make a story about. You could also just keep it as a journal and share with your grandchildren some day. That way they know what happened to you in your life and they can share it with their children. This keeps the genealogy going with each generation so stories are not lost.
It is difficult when one does genealogy work that they only get their information from a database and not their own family's mouth. Stories can get misconstrued so easily when miscommunication happens. This can be avoided by writing things down yourself and putting it in a safe place like a safety deposit box or scan it in your computer.
There is a lot of support for this. Many people think about it and do it every day. There are even support groups for it and blogs online to read and get inspiration from. Just look online on a good search engine and you will see. It is not hard to find. Be diligent and find the right one for you.
The written word lasts for an eternity. It helps one get their thoughts and feelings out. It is not good to hold these in especially on a long-term basis. Release of these concepts is normal and should be done. At the same time, you can also help your future family with your daily records of your life.
Let all your thoughts out without a lot of criticism at first. Editing can come later. Your stream of consciousness wants to come out and if you do not let it, the muse inside of you cannot come out either. Both of these things are important with the writing experience.
You maybe should even write it down if it does not make any sense. At least you are getting something out. Before you know it, your muse inside will take over and the writing will make sense. Without that, however, the muse cannot come out. Being stuck is no fun. Try to avoid this so you do not get frustrated.
A friend or family member may have the same ideas you do. Ask them and see if they have an interest. You can then bond together by accomplishing the same thing together and maybe even make some goals that you keep you on a progressive path.
Share what you have written as long as it does not divulge too much of what you do not want others to hear. Writing a memoir has so many bonuses. You have a lot of fun ahead of you if you choose to do this.
