These are from the writer’s conference of life the universe and everything. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• Writing about real family
• Family members don’t recognize themselves. If there are specific incidents, they might. They won’t recognize them
• Take what is useful and then feel free to deviate.
• Why write a family history?
• People will write because they don’t have their own family.
• Relatives know how to tell stories.
• The culture we were raised at home, form what we write.
• One wants to understand themselves by understanding their origins of the family.
• Swiftly tilting planet is a generation book
• Pillars of the earth=five families
• Divulge family history gradually. Don’t want to have a data dump. Will be influenced by how important it is to the story. No backstory in the first 3 chapters. Can distribute it throughout the book.
• Use a spreadsheet and what book they are in. may include a description and key activities. And the type of car.
