It’s true. In fact, every email I write makes history. It’s a pretty dull history for the most part, but history nonetheless. That phrase annoys me, “this will make history”. Everything that happens is instantly history. Most of it is dull and boring, but it is still historical. What they mean to say is that whatever is about to happen will be recorded in history, while most everything else isn’t recorded, so people forget about it. The beauty in that forgotten history is that you can write about it, with your slant like all history. 99% of the population reading your version will not have experienced it first-hand and, therefore, will have to accept your version. Our eldest son teases one of our closest friends. She is an avid photographer and posts them all on Facebook. She and her husband are also avid travellers so she has hundreds of photographs from every trip. When she tells a story about anything that hasn’t been photographed, our son says, “There’s no photograph, so it didn’t happen. “ No historical record for proof. How does this email help you? It gives you the freedom to write about anything, fact or fiction, and embellish it however you like because there’s no one who can dispute your version. There are some caveats to this though. If you are writing books about recorded history there will be some facts to be aware of, but always remember that all historical records have been filtered through the author’s perception and biases. This email happens to unembellished fact, but you’d never know if I didn’t tell you. It’s still history. Regards, P.S.
