Treasured family stories, fond memories, and personal wisdom are often lost to future generations because we do not routinely compile a written legacy. In "Elderwriters: Celebrate Your Life," author Sue Barocas offers you a new model for legacy writing - the Personal Legacy Document (PLD). You don't have to be an experienced writer to create a rich trove of short pieces that reflect your thoughts and feelings about what life has meant to you. In the Elderwriters approach you will explore a wide range of forms - anecdotes, epiphanies, paragraphs and poems, lessons learned, one-liners, lists, essays, letters, and more - to help you collect your thoughts and celebrate your life. There is nothing in the approach that requires or anticipates writing skills beyond those learned in high school. Elderwriters is for the writer in all of us. Be sure to peruse the table of contents to get a feel for this novel and highly successful approach to personal legacy writing. PLDs average 20-25 pages. This book is a guide for creating your own personal legacy document. The chapters are sequenced to take you from the beginning stages of personal legacy writing through the printing and preserving of your document. If you follow the prompts and complete the exercises, by the end of Chapter 13 you will have your own PLD to give to friends and family. Presenting the material as a curriculum not only makes the process more manageable for the individual, but also provides an easy transition for those who wish to facilitate a class or small group. In addition to practical advice and helpful hints, the guide contains a wealth of sample writings from members of Barocas's classes. This book is the perfect gift for yourself or loved ones. Personal legacy writing should be part of everyone's later years. Welcome to Creative Personal Legacy Writing!
