Sharing family stories — lesson 7

The memories you save don’t have to be earthshaking. They can be short and quiet, like the one I share with you today.

If something comes to mind when listening to one of my lessons, don’t delay. Stop. Write it down before it fades away and then come back to my video.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

You don’t have to be perfect to be a writer. I have dyslexia and I’m a writer.

Being a reader, even a slow one, as I am, is a good first step to being a writer.

Here’s one of my memories. I show the first book that made me a reader.

Some of the writers I know never struggled with reading. They were the lucky ones.

I’m proof that even a person with dyslexia can become a writer.

Here’s a suggestion for you.

When I was little, the best part of a special book was sitting on my mother’s lap while she read to me.

I’m trying something new. I want to help you start saving your own family stories. Here is lesson #1.

Sorry for the fumbling/mumbling in the middle of this video. I hope you got the gist of my first writing lesson.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Susan on Sunnybook Farm.
