WRITING YOUR LIFE
However old we may be , we are all engaged in the project of self-making , figuring out who and why we are , and revealing that self to others . Writing can be a powerful tool in that process . Writing about our personal experiences allows us to plumb their meanings , re-live the joy or satisfaction , or come to terms with the pain or disappointment . This class will be rooted in memoir writing , but will also explore how writing poetry and fiction can give voice to aspects of ourselves we ’ ve neglected or ignored . Each class will involve writing to prompts and sharing our writing with the kind , helpful , and supportive community we will become . Bring writing tools ( notebook , pen , laptop , etc .), water bottle and growth mindset . No class 11 / 6 .
