Getting older can be inspiring and frustrating, vexing, and hilarious. Yet there are more thrilling, upbeat possibilities later in life than our ageist, youth-obsessed culture suggests. And we aren't alone in navigating its difficult aspects. One of the ways to embody this approach to aging is by sharing our experiences with one another through writing.

Head home with new knowledge on how to generate and organize personal essays, more confidence in your writing abilities, and a greater sense of community with others who are having similar experiences regarding getting older. and the group.
