Essentials of a Good Memoir
We each have a story to tell that is unique in all the world. The challenge is how to tell it well. In this class we will use timehonored techniques for writing, including innovative writing exercises, as we learn how to craft our memoir. Many of the exercises will be related to the five senses or to childhood, where the connection between you and the world is intense and direct. The goal: to liberate your authentic voice and to remember. We will also discuss one of the most difficult aspects of memoir writing: organization. Depending on class size, we'll also critique each other's work, though class members should feel free to read, or not to read their work, according to their comfort level. We will also concentrate on the excitement and pleasures of good writing--finding the exact word, for example. Reading suggestions will be offered as well.
