Storytellers SIG 25 May 2024

Storytellers Special Interest Group - 25 May 2024

CAGGNI's Storytellers group works on developing and polishing their family history writing. Specific writing prompts are announced a few weeks prior to each session. Alternatively, you may wish to share something else you’ve been working on. Please bring two copies for sharing.

SIG Lead: Marti Swanson

May Writing topic: Taking risks is a part of life. Our ancestors took risks, either escaping from intolerable situations in the lands of their birth or seeking a better life and new opportunities in new lands. The risks we take today are usually (but not always) less dramatic, but they still can change lives.

So, write about a risk an ancestor or you yourself took. As always, set the scene, introduce and identify your characters, and indicate the nature of the risk. Was it purposeful or inadvertent? Tell about the risk and the outcome, either expected or a surprise. Did the outcome change the future life of the risk-taker? In what way?

Please bring two copies of your writing (risk-taking or anything else you‘ve been working on) for sharing. And please do consider submitting anything you’ve written for our CAGGNI newsletter.

CAGGNI SIGs are for members only. 

Meeting Style: The Storytellers SIG is a live-only offering. We meet in the Commons area at STDL on the main floor.
