Join Karen McLeod for an inspiring, interactive and fun workshop that dives into the art of writing about your life. Karen will discuss approaches to memoir writing while discussing the issues (and the many liberations) that can come from writing about the past.Through writing exercises you will explore how to uncover material, dig into the important stories of your life, then hone in on an idea for a story.
Whether you're already working on a memoir project, or wish to begin writing about your life, by the end of the session whatever your experience, you will leave with new material and be equipped with tools to continue.
Bring a notebook and pen, plus an open mind and heart.
You will be introduced to:
What is memoir?
Writing exercises to access buried memories
How to focus in on a particular subject/time/person/place
And a chance to ask questions
