Sonya,

I'm challenged by the same proposition.

I've thought of doing sketches of folks, snippets of conversations, poems, remembrances, etc. to enhance the raw 'data' that a genealogy program provides.

I've begun to submit some of my stuff, here, to find out if it's coherent, relevant, and most important - literate.

We all have good stories to tell; we just need a forum that can tell us if our sentences and paragraphs are 'jacked-up' or not.

On behalf of all of us who have taken those shaky first steps - welcome to the Writer's Forum!

Hope this begins to answer some of your questions!

Peace
"Guided by the Ancestors"
