“Writing Your
Memoir” Workshop at Library
A very special 2-day workshop “Writing Your Memoir From Scratch” will
be held at the
Greenville Public Library on Monday & Tuesday February 23rd &
24th. Both classes run from 6:30 to 8:00 and are free and open to
the public. Instructor Lianne Spidel describes the workshop as a chance
for participants “to tell your stories and find forgotten treasures
hidden in the Deep Well of your own memory."
Lianne is a well-known published poet and retired English and
Journalism teacher at both the high school and college level. She
explains that the only things you need to bring are writing materials
such as a notebook or legal pad and pens or pencils - no electronic
devices, no documents, autobiographies, or family histories.
“Everything is inside your head, and your writing will be done at the
workshop.”
The directions are simple according to Lianne. “The first step is to
forget everything you learned in school about the writing process, such
as topic sentences, outlines, introductions, and conclusions. They are
needed for schoolwork and business but they don‘t belong in this
workshop!”
She says throwing them out is harder than you think! It’s not necessary
to read anything in preparation or to bring previous work - Lianne will
present ideas to get started. Light refreshments will be served.
