LinDee Rochelle’s 7 Tenets of Legacy Writing
1. Weave your memoir or biography around legendary events.
2. Dull life? Write about others who excite you.
3. Don’t write about you. Write about history. Put you in it.
4. Interview and include other people’s stories (yes, even strangers).
5. Research little-known, interesting facts of the era.
6. Pictures, pictures, pictures!
7. Write with truth, insight, and compassion.
