Great breakdown of Why "The Story Behind Your Story" is So Important. I found the practical insights particularly helpful for my own projects.

Jenny,
I enjoyed the post and always glean new ideas from you. When we write from the heart, our "CORE" shines through. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Theresa Hupp. I love those two pieces of "story behind your stories!" You are especially speaking my language with how much those in power get to record the history. I love seeing all those powerful women get noticed during our modern times.

I write historical fiction, and I find I look for the stories of women that have not been told, because history usually records only the men's perspectives.

In addition, my novels tend to revolve around the theme of creating a family by choice--who we love and who loves us--rather than purely through circumstances of birth or marriage.

In reply to Annabelle Franklin. Annabelle, I'll bet kids LOVE your books if the Core Story is "believing in yourself even if the grownups around you are idiots." That's an addictive notion for the younger and middle grade set.
