There are reasons why certain memories stay with us. We don’t remember everything that has happened in our lives, but we remember those things that made a difference.
                 

We all have unique life stories. 
Many times we 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." 

What are the places, who are the characters, friends and family, teachers, and others you remember who have helped make you the person you are today? 

Learn when and how to use dialogue. Students are given prompts that bring forth memories. The instructor will read and offer individual suggestions and comments to improve clarity and strength.

Our classes are small, and non-competitive. Everyone is encouraged as we discuss what we like about the work being read. Students learn from each other as well as from the instructor. 

Classes are for beginning and intermediate writers, published or non-published.
