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:

  1. Learn how to use first and third person to get to the core of your memoir’s voice

  2. Discover the “whatness” at the center of your story and have that drive the writing

  3. Articulate more clearly the story arc of your memoir

  4. Explore the ways sensory detail enlivens a story

  5. Frame one scene in different emotional language and/or from the perspectives of different characters to discover what that means for your particular story
