LifeStories – Memoir Writing
Telling time. We can do it with the watch on our wrist or the clock on the mantle, but fundamental time telling has nothing to do with a clock. We mark time by the events in our lives. Things happened after the children were born, or before we came to this country. Through memoir, we can turn our time markers into stories that will leave a legacy, enriching our children and grandchildren.
In this workshop we will explore basic writing conventions and apply them to our creative non-fiction endeavor. We’ll illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of our writing through the art of critique, both within the group and instructor generated. Preserve your history as a gift that your family will cherish.
