Post #124 – Women’s Memoirs, Writing Prompt – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
Sibling Disagreements
Family storytelling can result in heated debates about which version of a story is the true/right/correct one. Around a kitchen table or the living room during a holiday, these differences can often be handled in a light way. But when you write your memoir, you just may find that you and siblings remember stories quite differently and they think you are just plain wrong.
There are a number of reasons for these different perceptions. In the video below, we discuss five reasons. Soon we will have an ebook available on Family Storytelling: Sibling v. Sibling. In the ebook, we’ll give you suggested solutions for different problems that will arise. We’ll post a notice as soon as it is ready. In the meantime, this video should start you on the path to understanding the reasons for the differences.
We invite you to leave us a note in the Comments section about differences you have had with your siblings about family stories.
