Autumn 2009: Writing Your Memoir:
If you’ve considered writing your memoir but didn’t know where or how to begin, this class will get you started. Unlike the autobiography (which covers an entire life), the memoir focuses on one aspect of your life: i.e., a relationship, childhood, high school, college years, a town or city in which you lived, etc. Or you may want to follow an important aspect of your life: music, painting, writing, etc., through the many influences of your life journey. Through guided writing sessions (and optional sharing), we’ll explore some of the varied approaches to this illuminating
form. We’ll also look at some of the barriers: needing to wait for some people to cross over to the other side before we can freely write. There are alternatives I’ll share with you.
A continuation of the summer Memoir class is scheduled to appear again at Good Shepherd on the following days (not necessary to attend first class in order to appear in 2nd class -- which follows): Location: Good Shepherd Center 4649 Sunnyside North Seattle, WA 98103 Time: 4 Tuesdays 6:30p.m - 9:30 p.m. October 6, October 13, October 20, October 27 Fee: $120 before September 30th $130 after September 30th Make check payable to Pesha Gertler P.O. Box 75464 Seattle, WA 98175-0464 Looking forward to seeing you there. |
