Imagine that book you’re writing or have always wanted to write sitting on the shelves at Barnes and Noble and being checked out by your neighbors from the Library. Whether you’re just thinking about your first writing project or working on the next chapter of your epic series, the Library’s Writing Lab will move your story along, break through writer’s block and get you ready to send that book to the editor.
Starting Your Memoir: Techniques to Capture Your Story
Join Jennifer Wolfe of Women Writing for (a) Change at this in-person writing circle to learn how you can capture your personal story on paper, for yourself, for your family, or for the big-time publishing world!
Practice capturing your memories and then learn a variety of techniques to continue the memoir-writing process. Before you can write that story, you’ve got to get it down on paper! Learn how to generate your first drafts using techniques like “Captured Moments,” "List of 100,” "Fast Writes,” “Clustering,” “Character Sketch” and more. Learn how to trust your inner voice and get ahead of the inner critic. Create a discipline for your writing practice and find support in your community.
Bring your journal, laptop, or notebook, sentimental photographs or moments if you want to, and your favorite writing pen. We’ll provide the agenda and the support.
