Many of us long to write our memoir, but have no idea where to start. Or, if we have begun, we often become self-conscious of our work. Nancy Slonim Aronie helps us craft our memoir, step-by-step, whether we are an experienced writer or a beginner.
During the week, we explore the many forms a memoir can take, and our reasons for wanting to write one. We write at every session, using a number of exercises to get our words and ideas flowing. By the end of the week, each of us will have a direction, a sense of structure, and a larder full of material for our own memoir.
Please note: The following writing exercise must be completed before the class begins and brought to the first session: Take any 10 years of your life and reduce them to two double-spaced typed pages; every sentence must be only three words long.
Nancy Slonim Aronie is the author of Writing From the Heart: Tapping the Power of Your Inner Voice, published by Hyperion and now in its sixth printing. She is the founder of the Chilmark Writing Workshop on Martha's Vineyard and is a commentator for National Public Radio's All Things Considered. |
