Course Fee - $25.00

Beginners and Intermediate writers are welcome.

Each of us has a unique life story. No one can tell your story but you. While our children and grandchildren now show little interest in our past, there will come a time when they will be grateful that we wrote and preserved our history. We often hear someone, after losing a father or mother, say, "I wish I had asked more questions. I wish I knew more about my parents' lives." 

We will discuss how to decide what to write, how to write it so it resonates with your readers, and how to organize these stories. 

In this class, we will write not only informative but entertaining as well as enlightening short pieces of no more than 2,000 words. Prompts are offered each week to stimulate memories. For those not familiar with Zoom, we will help you before the classes start to get familiar with the program.
