WRITING YOUR LIFE
Community Center / Brad Shurmantine
However old we may be, we are all engaged in the project of self-making,
figuring out who and why we are, and revealing that self to others. Writing
can be a powerful tool in the process. This class will be rooted in memoir
writing but will also explore how writing poetry and fiction can give voice to
aspects of ourselves we've neglected or ignored. Each class will involve
writing to prompts and sharing our writing with the kind, helpful and
supportive community we will become. Bring writing tools (notebook, pen,
laptop, etc), water bottle and growth mindset. *No Class 2/16
