Thinking of writing a memoir? Let’s talk it over, look at options, and build a plan!
This class is for writers who are exploring the idea of writing a memoir. Maybe you have an idea, or half of an idea, or a strong pull to tell your story, but you’re not sure what this Dream looks like on the Ground. Let’s talk about it. We’ll look at the logistics (size, time commitment, final product) and also talk about strong mindsets, good planning, and ways to keep the momentum. We’ll do some in-class exercises to help you get focused, get organized, and plan for potholes. Create a realistic plan so you can succeed! Join me and let’s get a strong roadmap in place.
