Writing A Memoir

“Memoir” is from the French “memoire”, a factual non-fiction narrative of the author’s personal memories. A memoir often tells the story of a particular event or time, such as a touchstone moment or turning point in life.

In this class, we will look at ways to chronicle your life using your meaningful moments.  You will write stories about your life while keeping in mind that writing is deep thinking. You will surprise yourself!

When you come to class, please bring a memory that has significance for you. Also please bring some paper and pen or an electronic device to record your writing. We will be sharing our writing so also be prepared to accept that what we hear in class, stays in class. Confidentiality is key. We want to create a safe place for everyone to feel free to share and create in.
