Writing Your Story

In this class, you will begin the process by responding to writing prompts which will elicit stories from different chapters of your life: childhood, early adulthood, mid-life, and older adulthood. Beginners as well as seasoned writers are welcome as we share our stories with one another. Please bring a notebook or laptop.
