MINING YOUR MEMORIES

HOW TO WRITE THE STORIES OF YOUR LIFE 

Zoom Classes with Claudia Welch and Barb Gottesman

March 3 - March 24, March 31 - April 20, April 28 - May 19,

and May 26 - June 16 and July 7 - 28.

This class, “Mining Your Childhood Memories,” will provide the tools to help tell the stories of your life to share with your family and friends. Beginners, and all writing levels are welcome. We will start by identifying life experiences for an event to describe effectively - what people said or did, and most importantly, how it all made you feel. You may find ideas in your memories, photographs, letters, cards, or relics from the past.

This memory will be written to stand alone. Keep in mind that one positive experience may spark even more memories for additional stories.

The class is limited to 6 participants who will write one or two paragraphs developed and read during our Zoom meetings. Claudia and Barb will offer their gentle insights to help bring your memories to life on the page. No pre-work or assignments are required - other than mining your own memories for ideas. This class could be a pathway for further development of stories for those who are interested. Our goal is to help you get started weaving a tapestry of stories from the threads of your life experiences.

Claudia has been writing childhood memories for several years. Her previous writing experience is in marketing, advertising and executive presentations. Barb has written many articles and has published four books. This class meets via Zoom on Wednesdays, 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm. Fee: $10. Register for this class at barb.gottesman@gmail.com

This 4 session class is limited to six participants and will be hosted via Zoom. After your registration is confirmed, details of how to pay the fee, to whom and where will be sent to you by e mail. Participants will learn some important points for interesting memory writing, will write at home, will read their very short vignettes each week and will be open for comments and critiques, following established guidelines.

For questions, e mail either Claudia at claudia.welch@yahoo.com or Barb at barb.gottesman@gmail.com
