Telling Stories-What to Say?

I've been a bit quiet on here and will be continue having a low profile as I'm seriously working on my book.

Today I've been thinking about my story. What am I saying? What do I need the reader to know? What do they want to know?

I know they don't want to read me going on and on about being bored in hospital. I know they'll want to read about Bless-ed T's birth. As I write and move about in my world I met people with a similar story to mine and I met people with stories which are nothing like mine. I know I'm telling my story. But what do people really want to know?

If you told your story about your high risk pregnancy, your baby's premature birth or any situation that had a dramatic effect on your life, what would you want others to know?

What would be the meaning of your story?
