Writing-Related Sessions at NGS 2013

NGSThe National Genealogical Society Family History Conference will be held in Las Vegas, May 8-11, 2013.  Over the course of four days, genealogy experts will come together and speak on a variety of topics from records to technology to methodology and everything in between.  And, as always, there are some sessions related to writing and sharing stories/research that I thought I’d highlight for my readers.

Tell It Again – See the RootsTech Session Recording NOW

All I can say is, wow!  Kim Weitkamp gave a fantastic presentation today at the RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The presentation, Tell It Again, was streamed live via the internet and had a lot of buzz on Twitter. 

TellItAgain

Kim is an excellent storyteller; I was truly fascinated (and it takes a lot to fascinate me!).  Instead of lecturing and telling you why you should tell your stories or how to tell them, she used the power of storytelling to illustrate her points.

It’s hard to explain here in writing, you just have to go and watch the recording for yourself.  You can access the recording of the session here or by clicking the image above.  I’m sure you will walk away with the motivation to tell your stories!

It really is a must-see!
