Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Larry Bograd about his memoir Blood Flow, a poignant exploration of his father's mental health struggles and the generational impact of unspoken family stories. Larry's book took him decades to write, and it got me thinking about the power of personal narrative.

What I Learned from Larry's Writing Journey

Larry's approach to writing is something I deeply resonate with. Like me, he's not a daily writer who forces words onto the page. Instead, he allows his stories to percolate, waiting for the right moment when the narrative feels ready to emerge.

Some key insights that struck me:

• Writing can be a form of healing and understanding
• Our family histories are often more complex than we realize
• Creativity doesn't have an age limit - Larry published his first book at 60!

I'm curious - have you ever considered writing about your own family history? What stories are waiting to be told? Comment below. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
