Telling stories from life and memories, this creative writing course will focus on memoirs. Each day there will be discussions on different aspects of writing, including themes, how to structure memoirs, and engage readers. There will be daily time for writing your stories from memory or as elicited by prompts. Share some of your fresh writing with the class and give and receive feedback on what is strong and working in your writing. Develop your craft using writing exercises and prompts that will target specific writing skills.
