We are happy to have Paula
Canup, former English teacher, writer and journalist, join our faculty in 2015. She will teach a
workshop in March. The date and time will be announced later.
We can always use a brush up on
our basic skills and new writers often have forgotten those details of grammar
that we learn in high school and college. I see many problems with new students
such as when to use ellipses, where to place quotation marks in dialogue, what
is an em dash and where to use it. How often can we use an exclamation point or
when should we use it?
Put it on your calendar now to
sign up for Paula’s class at Writers Circle next March.

Glenda Beall teaches at TCCC in March
I will be teaching in
March at Tri-County Community College. The dates are: March 24, 31 and April 7
and 14. Time for all classes is 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. The title of the class is
Write Your Life Stories for Your Family or for Publishing.
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.
Each of us has a unique story, and in this class you 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.
