Memoirs were once conceived of as traditional hero's journeys, in which a narrator recounts their triumphant struggles. But most of our lives are far more complex than these sorts of narrative arcs allow. In this workshop, you'll be guided through generative writing exercises to write short memoir pieces in any genre/style you want. We will look at a variety of memoir examples for inspiration. In class writing and sharing is encouraged.
This class will meet on Oct 19, 26; Nov, 2, 9 and 16.
