I often wonder what my great grandparents would have said to me if they had been given the opportunity. What would a letter written a century ago, to future unknown descendants have looked like. When I write, I like to hope that I am leaving a note to future generations of my family. I write about what is important to me.
The thing is, I don't imagine that teenagers several generations from now will be interested in reading an essay about what I think is important. So I tell stories. I hope my stories will contain that "something infinite" that will continue to engage people even after I'm no longer here. And I hope that some of what I need to tell about now will still be important then.
So, come with me as I share my process of creating a legacy. I plan to include interviews and writing tips from fellow writers, and maybe even some book reviews. Sometimes, I'll even share a few of my own stories.
