Writing Life Stories – B
« back to classes page
Why write your story? For your family and friends? Or simply to reflect on your life? Writing helps us reflect on, document, and share our experiences. Each week one-half of the group writes a long form story. Each writer from that group emails the text - up to 1500 words - to the study group members; when we meet on Zoom, the writer reads it aloud. Members respond verbally and later send more detailed written comment to the reader. New this year, to stimulate extra writing, each week prompts are given and members are invited to submit shorter pieces which are read as time allows. Whether you are an experienced writer or just starting out, our study group is here to help. On our MyOLLI website we provide guides to writing and to the art of memoir. Together we tackle the challenges of organizing and clarifying our writing. In this study group, a workshop for writers, members tell stories that range from joyful to heartbreaking. We provide an excellent opportunity to write and reflect on events and chapters of your life. Come join us.
