Writing Your Life Workshops
If you’ve lived, you have a story full of drama, pathos and beauty, and writing is a way of exploring it. Writing Your Life workshops focus on the rich vein of unique material that belongs to you alone. Instead of trying to be “good,” we concentrate instead on production and pleasure, on unearthing the personal myths and stories that can reveal who you are.
Your story is yours and you’re entitled to use it any way you wish – to bend it into fiction, transmute it into poetry, or serve it up as memoir. But before you can decide which way to shape your writing, you have to get into the habit of writing freely.
