Define Your Dash: Start Writing Your Personal History with the #52Stories Project by Angie Lucas at the FamilySearch Blog. “The idea is to write one brief story about your life, past or present, every week this year…Sounds easy enough in theory, but what on earth are you going to write about each week? Should you just start at the beginning and record all the events of your life chronologically? Actually, no. That’s the most challenging way to go about this project. Memory isn’t orderly, structured, or predictable. Recollections are more likely to surface randomly, sparked by various external triggers. Embrace the randomness, and just start writing. You can always organize your stories later if chronology matters to you.”
