Learn
to write about your precious
moments
Reminder…
The first session of the
Memoir Writing Workshop had a great turn-out and a wonderful exchange
of ideas.
If
you appreciate what you see,
it's not too late to be included.
Thursday,
July 11 6:00-7:00 PM Juniper
Lane 4, BRC
Seeing
you tightly swaddled in the
nursery blanket and touching your delicate, tiny fingers, I was
overcome with…
Hunkered down in the foxhole, my senses heightened by the… The thrill
of the
road rising before me…
There
are so many stories, so many
memories…
Do
you have personal stories to
share with family or friends?
Impressions of experiences floating in the
back of your mind? Half-written
essays?
Learn
how to write about the
distinguishing moments in your life… to get to the emotional truth of
those
occurrences… to compose your personal story.
Workshop
leader Sam Armstrong, an
English Major completing his final year at Cedarville University will
guide
participants through various writing techniques when writing a memoir.
The
writing techniques will be
supported by a selection of personal essays from The Things They
Carried,
written by Tim O’Brien, along with discussions, open writing time,
sharing, and
critiques. The
workshop is open to individuals
at all levels of writing skills.
The
5-week memoir writing workshop
will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. beginning July 8. Participants will meet on
Juniper Lane 4 in
the main building of the Brethren Retirement Community.
