Who’s Writing Your Story?

We love to read and listen to get a peek inside an author’s world, but who’s writing your story? Memories fade and knowledge disappears in just two generations if we don’t record our experiences as a legacy for others. From the smallest and silliest family traditions to the history behind the family heirloom— or the family feud— it all combines to make us who we are and influences who the next generation will become. If you aren’t writing it down, who is?

Whether you’ve never scribbled a line in a crisp, new journal or whether you are already thinking about publishing your own book of recollections, spend sixty minutes with us to get some fresh ideas on how to capture your own story for generations to enjoy. See some examples of what others are doing—on paper and electronically— and explore some published titles to help spark your own ideas.

This discussion will be led by Fort Loudon resident Yvonne Butts-Mitchell, a communications professional, wordsmith and tale weaver on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at the Fort Loudon Library beginning at 6:00 p.m. Please let the library know if you plan to attend.
