The topic for October is a Short Story Writing Exercise:

What life lessons have you learned from your ancestors? What impact have these lessons had on your life?

From your family research, write a captivating story (250-300 words) about three life lessons from one or various ancestors.

Include the guidance you have gained or perhaps what you have learned not to repeat. 

Alternatively, if there is another topic you wish to write about, please do so.

You can share your story on Basecamp or read it out at our October meeting.

For those joining The Writing Group for the first time and who wish to join Basecamp, please contact SAG at: admin@sag.org.au
