From the faculty of the In the Rough writing program, Julie Gieseke and Patti Digh, this interactive, fast-paced program will be largely experiential with a lot of writing and sharing. It is designed for a sense of completion and doneness by the end of our three hours together.
Objectives:
Learn how to use first and third person to get to the core of your memoir’s voice
Discover the “whatness” at the center of your story and have that drive the writing
Articulate more clearly the story arc of your memoir
Explore the ways sensory detail enlivens a story
Frame one scene in different emotional language and/or from the perspectives of different characters to discover what that means for your particular story
