Writing Your Memories into Stories for Your Family or for Publication
Tuesdays – 6:00 – 8:00 PM - January 23 and 30 - February 13
Fee: 60.00 for three classes
Online with Zoom
There are reasons why certain memories stay with us. We don’t remember everything that has happened in our lives, but we remember those things that made a difference.
Why are they important to us?
Who are the people in our lives we want to remember and tell their stories so our children and grandchildren will know them as well?
What do you want your family to know about your life and why? Today young people hardly know their grandparents’ history, where they were born, what they did for work, and what tragedies or successes they had. We don’t sit on the porch and talk like our parents once did. Unless you write your unique story, no one will know it.
We all have individual stories, and we can learn to write them to inform and enlighten our readers. You might think your family is not interested in your story, but one day they will be so glad you took the time to write it.
In class, we share our stories and receive feedback from our peers that help us know what is good and what might need some more work. Each student gets individual attention from me with suggestions on how to make his/her story the best it can be.
My classes are for beginning and intermediate writers, published or non-published.
