WRITE ON The 3's of Plotting The purpose of this workbook is to give you a quick start on plotting your story. Before you throw up your hands and say, "I don't believe in anything that sounds like an outline," just stop and think for a minute. Why not make your job easier? The plotting advice in this workbook is designed to help you streamline your writing. It's advice you can try, adapt or even ignore. It won't write your book.It won't control your voice. It won't spell out every detail. Like consulting a road map, it will help you to know where and when to turn, what roads to take and to know where you're headed on a cross country road trip. It guides you in the right direction. It doesn't dictate where you'll stop to eat, who you'll run into on the way or who will end up tailgating you. I promise, with a little pre-planning you can "write easier" and "write smarter." Which means you'll finish your manuscript sooner rather than later.
The do-it-yourself edition of bestselling author Lawrence Block's groundbreaking seminar for writers In the 1980s, bestselling author Lawrence Block developed an innovative, interactional seminar that adapted elements of the human potential movement, specifically for writers. For several years, he and his wife, Lynne, traveled the country conducting workshops that focused on the inner game of writing and were designed to enable participants to get out of their own way and put their best work on paper. Written to ensure the course material would be made available to the largest audience possible-and at a lower price-Block self-published this book in 1986, in a print run of 5,000 copies, which sold out in short order. A few years later, he stopped offering the seminar, having tired of the guru trip and preferring to concentrate on his own writing. For years afterward, WRITE FOR YOUR LIFE was nearly impossible to obtain.When ebooks became popular, Block arranged for HarperCollins to publish WRITE FOR YOUR LIFE in its digital format. Still, he continued to hear from fans mourning the print edition.This is, after all, the sort of text one wants to be able to page through, making the printed book more user-friendly. In the fall of 2013, an assistant found the last box of the 1986 edition in a storage cupboard; Block offered them in a newsletter, and all 25 copies sold out within three hours.This is the original text, with a new foreword bringing it up to date. With the book, as with the seminar, it doesn't matter at all where you are in your writing career or what kind of writing you do. That's all beside the point. WRITE FOR YOUR LIFE is about making the best out of who you are and where you are.

Some are entertaining, and others are more historical. Many others are celebrations of our ethnic and cultural heritage. They all should be saved and repeated for our future generations. However, pieces of these stories are lost as families pass them down from generation to generation. Writing a family history will save them for many generations. Writing a family history can seem to be a very challenging project for many people. Hopefully, the methods discussed in this book will show the reader a simple format that will make this task much easier. You may be reluctant to write down these stories because you do not consider yourself a writer, or you cannot see how your family history is essential to save. However, you need to understand that someone in your family should capture and save the oral histories, do the research to try to confirm what the accurate story is and do the research to increase the knowledge of your ancestor's lives. All of our immigrant ancestors contributed to America's history, and their stories should be saved for our grandchildren. They should enjoy the same stories you heard growing up. Our family stories should give clues to the lives of our ancestors, and this will help us understand our roots. Your collection of family history, photos, and documents are incomplete unless someone writes an explanation of how they are related. This creates your unique family history and is the core of why someone needs to write them down for the enjoyment of your children and grandchildren.

If you are interested in telling your family stories, I hope that the materials in this book help you overcome your fears of writing, and you will commit the oral traditions of your family to the written word. I show how getting started with brief biographical summaries can make writing easier. Summaries help you overcome your fears of writing. I cover simple methods for organizing your summaries that can stand alone and then later combine all of the summaries into a larger document that becomes your family history. The book reviews a simple process that compiles oral history, family pictures, and genealogical materials and puts it together into a readable and exciting document that suddenly becomes your family history.
