Enjoy a light supper and beverages as you contemplate and write in this 2-part class. The second session of this class will be Monday, December 1 from 5:30-8:30.

Your personal story has power. Every writer has a wealth of stories stored, stashed, half-forgotten. A good idea is one that tickles your memory bone; it also makes you ask yourself questions and explore new territory. Let’s mine your memories in this workshop. We will kick-start 2-3 new pieces that can become short essays or evolve into longer works in Session I. We’ll revise
work and present our favorites in open mic fashion during Session II.
