Many of you found success during The Challenge and are now on your way to completing your family history story. However, just because The Challenge is over certainly does mean we are done writing. Many of us still have plenty of work ahead.
One of the greatest accomplishments of The Challenge; it brought together a community of family history writers within the genealogy community. One of the greatest difficulties in writing is feeling like you are out there on your own trying to figure it all out. Perhaps you have lost your motivation, and need some encouragement. The Forum served as wonderful support group for those us struggling through our family history writing challenges.
The Family History Writing Forum provided an opportunity for family history writers to share their successes and struggles, exchange ideas and learn from one another in a safe and respectful environment.
Presently, we are 60 members strong in the forum, and it has accumulated over 450 posts throughout the month of the Challenge. The range of experience in members of the forum includes the newest of writers to those who have already published. We are all learning from each other. It has and continues to serve as a wonderful resource to aid in your own family history writing journey.
The Family History Writing Forum is now open to all members of the genealogical community who wish to be a part of this writer’s group. You do not have to be a participant of The Challenge to join.
In addition, The Family History Writing Challenge website will also remain up and accessible. There is a great deal of writing resources available on the website to aid you in your storytelling.
