Back by popular demand! Last month seven of us had a productive, educational and meaningful workshop with author Melanie Brooks! Amazing prompts and tips. Many of you couldn't make the date- so we're bringing Melanie back. Please join us Saturday June 28th.
From the description:
"The storage shelves of our minds are filled with memories.
Whether in a momentary snapshot or a full film reel, life’s collected scenes can be the raw material for compelling stories. The challenge for anyone trying to write their story is to figure out how to sift through those memories, re-enter those scenes, poke around, ask questions, and shape them into something accessible and meaningful on the page.
In this generative day long workshop, we will tackle that challenge, and through writing exercises and prompts designed to tap into remembered experiences, we’ll begin the process of reconsructing moments from the past and write into the stories they hold.
We will spend time examining craft topics central to memoir and essay, including sensory details and descriptive language; vivid, cinematic scenes; realistic dialogue; narrative tension; and authentic voice.
This day will include a half hour lunch (bring your own, or we have Buckley's Cafe nearby). Coffee, Tea, Seltzer and water provided.
9:30- 12:00 Session 1
12:00-12:30 Lunch break
