In this crazy topsy-turvy world that worships youth, stories by your older and wiser self make powerful and delicious reading. This workshop is about honoring your own voice, writing in your own rhythm and language, and writing your own story. Join Nancy Slonim Aronie, a warm, funny, inspirational, and distinguished writer and commentator for NPR's All Things Considered, to write like you really are (finally), to be completely honest, and to reclaim your original voice. Aronie says, "I can't teach writing (nobody can), but I can make a safe place and when people are safe they take enormous risks. The writing gets more powerful, the heart goes deeper, and the words flow faster."
