Story Telling

The following three posts are all about telling your story.  Stories can be life changing like the first one.  They can capture a true miracle and preserve it.  These types of stories do not come a long but once in a life time usually.  However the more common everyday story is vitally important as well.

I have been writing for a long time and I am always astonished by what posts are most popular.  They are usually just little stories.  I publish a couple times a month a series called A Simple Woman's Daybook.  It has a set of questions and I answer them every time with what is happening in our lives at the present time and what I'm thinking.  Who would think something like that would get a couple hundred reader on average every time?  No one is more surprised than me!  The same with the second and third stories I have included here.  These readers are not people I know.  They are just people that enjoy reading blogs and follow them.  The stories are simple, specific to a few people but popular. The reason I have figured out is that people like regular stories about regular people.  The human aspect of other people's live is intriguing.

Now think about how much more intriguing they would be if they were your people?  Your stories? They don't have to literary master pieces to spark an interest.  If you don't write now for thinking you have nothing interesting to say...think again.  Just do it anyway.  If you do you will not only benefit greatly from your effort personally, but you will leave something fun behind.

Here is a sample of A Simple Woman's Daybook entry.  I just recopy the template each time and answer the questions all over again.  Simple indeed!  I have about 5 years of these and I use to do them weekly.  Imagine the picture into a time period this can leave as your legacy.  Nothing earth
shattering just every day life.
