Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to capture the stories of your loved ones while you still can.
The Family Story Challenge will take you though all of the steps to capture, preserve, and share your family stories.
Let’s do some planning.
Some Family Story Possibilities
There are many ways to approach family story productions.
Do you want to do a deep dive on one family member?
Do you want to feature your immediate family?
Is there an upcoming event, such as a family reunion, wedding, graduation, anniversary, or celebration of life, at which you want to present the story productions?
Or do you simply want to have fun with the stories?
Ways To Share The Family Stories
The easiest way to share for an event like an anniversary or memorial service is a video montage that presents the milestones of a person’s life.
A website or book can be great for longer and more diverse story collections.
Perhaps an audiobook.
A family magazine with each issue featuring one or two family members and stories could work too,
You can do all of the above over time.
The question is, where to start?
Let’s Start Here
A good place to start is to pick one family member and consider what you would want to present at their celebration of life (even if they are not passing any time soon:-)
From there, we can go deeper into their life or include more family members for a book, family magazine, or website. Or all of these.
I will teach you how to do all of these things yourself over the weeks of the challenge.
I have created a small book called The Four Steps to Publishing Family Stories to help with journey. Register and download the book.
Next, I will suggest ways to store and organize the content to go into your family story productions. It is something all families can do.
