Writing Memoir

We'll talk about:
• The difference between memoir and autobiography
• Why write a memoir?
• How to infuse your memoir with meaning, so it's not just a collection of events • Finding moments to build a structure
• Using pacing for emphasis, telling the reader what's important
• Playing with language to make the rhythm more interesting
Using objects and rituals to deepen meaning**Please bring pen and paper, not a device, for a free write; and a photograph of a moment you'd like to include in your memoir.
We're going to have fun with this!
