In 7 Writing Prompts for Memoir and Family History
Thank you so much for the 7 writing prompts. I'm the family genealogist and my son wants to do a story for NaNoWriMo. We'll each write a story to end on November 30th. Oh boy! Your prompts will definitely help.

Hi Adele, thanks for reading! Thanks for the Twelve Moons recommendation too. Your chain was very interesting too. The only one I had read was Looking for Alibrandi, but I would love to have seen Peach Season by Debra Oswald performed on stage. (If anyone else would like to see Adele's chain you can find it over on her blog: https://adeleboundinbooks.blog/2025/10/05/6-degrees-of-separation-2025-october-4/).
