I have taught adults to write stories about their lives for
a number of years. The stories are often written for grandchildren or other
family because the writer wants to leave a legacy of what life
was like before cell phones, before computers and video games, before families
were too busy and before they were scattered all over the country and around
the world. The writer might want to tell about his family history for generations before him.
Each of us has a unique story, and in this class the student will learn
- where
to begin
- how
to begin
- how
to organize your work
- what
to write and what not to write
- how
to write so that your audience will want to read your stories
Each student will have several stories completed and written
by the end of the course in an entertaining and interesting form. Each student
will carry home a number of tools he/she can use in the future. If you have studied with me in the past, you will not be bored. We will have new exercises and new topics to explore.
