Writing short pieces about your life experiences can give you a fresh perspective on your past and the opportunity to share it with others.

Find writing inspiration and motivation in this class. Weekly writing prompts and examples will help spark your memories and get your writing going. Each week, you’ll share about a page of new writing with the group.

You’ll listen to other participants’ stories and strengthen your creativity in an encouraging environment. Beginning and experienced writers welcome!
