The Memoir Mosaic: Writing Prompts
Frisco Public Library
Frisco, TX / Nov 23 @ 2-3:30
Writing memoir can be daunting. What if you don't remember everything? How do you know what to focus on?
The answer is to approach memoir as a mosaic and embrace the fractured nature of memory with poetry, lists, vignettes, essays, conversations, letters, and more. This class is focused on writing and creating the first few pieces of your memoir mosaic with guidance and inspiration. We'll look at examples and have plenty of time to write and remember.
