Have you noticed there is a hunger for real-life stories in books, tv shows, and movies?
Memoirs increased by 400% between 2004 and 2008. Unscripted and scripted reality shows began in the middle of the 20th century but increased in popularity in the 90’s. It was not just stories created by professionals, but the everyday person became eager to air and share their heartaches, victories, and everyday lives as well.
Not only are our personal stories worth sharing, but so are the stories of our ancestors and family members. We are filled with stories! Along with them comes the need for better organization of those memories as we tell our stories, enhanced with photos.
With pulling together all the components to organize your photos and memories, organization will be critical. In our workshop, we share with you a technique and tool for organization and a customized hub that will make it easier for you to retrieve and compile relevant content as you draft your story.
