Generational Story

Read Numbers 25-27

Numbers 26:59 "And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister."

Most stories, even novels, cover a short period of time and a small cast of characters. But what if you want to cover more?

If you want to write about generations of a family, you can try to squeeze it into one book, but that is difficult to do. Most writers tell the saga through a series of books.

 

Usually the books are written chronologically, but not always. Sometimes a writer will finish the series of the story she intended to write and then realize she wants to tell the story of what happened before her series began.
