Have you always wanted to write your life’s story but never seem to get started? This class is devoted to encouraging you to take those steps. You will have an opportunity to share your stories with your fellow writers. Classmates will provide encouragement and suggestions. Writing a memoir provides a way to save your family stories for those who will someday be grateful that you did. Sharing these stories can help us connect with others who have similar experiences. Finally, memoir writing may have a therapeutic effect as you revisit painful or complicated events from your past.

Format: Members are expected to participate in writing and sharing up to 1,200 words about every other week. Optional writing prompts will be available to those who want them.

Resources/Expenses: None.
