Beckett
$160
This class encourages narrators to write in combination with photographs. Whether the aim is to share stories, memorialize a person’s life, or simply celebrate family get togethers, most of us can find a few pictures to go along with the occasion. Limited to 8 people, everyone will get feedback. Anything goes as material. Feel free to write longhand,
or on a computer or tablet. Plenty of examples of published works will provide you inspiration. Leave your first-person, truthful account of memories, reflections, and meaning-making for your loved ones straight from the horse’s mouth.
Humorous Stories: Memoir, Fiction or Whatnot (6 Week Course)
Wednesdays, 1-4pm
Sessions: Jan 18/Mar 15/May 10
Beckett $240
This class encourages narrators to explore the basic subject matter of life such as: your body, your relatives, your work, money, food, clothes, your car, and of course, pets. You may also want to write on many other topics. That’s fine too. Humor involves subject matter that’s serious before it amuses. Through feedback, reading-as-a-writer, and writing truthfully this subject matter becomes lighter, relatable, and unique to your narrating tone and style. This class helps you to listen to your writing voice —the sound that readers find engaging and inspired.
