Genealogists who are struggling to write about their ancestors and need incentive should consider joining the Family History Writing Challenge that runs from February 1st to 28th, 2017. Registration is free.
Created by Canadian genealogist Lynn Palermo, the annual challenge is “designed to help you develop long-term writing habits, provide inspiration and offer some educational pointers in your journey to write your family history stories.”
After you register, Ms. Palermo will send you the Daily Dose Newsletter by email every day throughout February. It will contain a motivational message and tips to motivate, educate, and inspire you. Registration also gives you access to the archive of articles.
Each day, you will be encouraged to write for a certain length of time. You will start with 28 minutes. At the end of the month, you will be writing for 90 minutes a day. You pick the amount of words to write every day — 250, 500, or 1,000 — whatever works for your schedule.
