Don’t Stop Now!–Suggestions For More Writing

 

Go Back to Lesson 11.

 

This is the last challenge for this course. I would love to hear about Relief Societies following this workshop, and hear some of the beautiful writings they’ve created. This is just one of the ways Relief Society sisters can help one another build a life of purpose.

 

Even when this course ends, your writings should not end. Continue recording your thoughts, in whatever style of writing you choose. If you really enjoy getting together, simply go through the course again, or use the following suggestions to keep you thinking of new ways to express yourself.

 

Just don’t stop!

Challenge:

 

Keep writing. Collect family stories and write about them. Include world, or church, history into your writing. Keep all of your writings together, even publish them if you like, and make sure your family knows what you are doing. Believe me when I say they will be so grateful to always have this part of you with them.
