This class comes out of my own experience.

After spending a year working on my memoirs, I faced the fact that I would never finish them. I just don’t have enough time. I am 66 and my life is busy.

​    So what do I want to leave for my kids and grandkids? To share now with friends?
Some of what I’ve learned, some essence of my experience and how I’ve come to understand it. And I want it to be a good read – not something glib or hastily thrown together.  

    So rather than working on the project of accounting for my

entire life, I’ve settled on writing mini memoirs. That makes the

work less overwhelming and more fun. Each mini memoir focuses

on a single story in my life. How many mini-memoirs will I write?

I'm aiming for a dozen. 

​

​​What you’ll come away with

By the end of the class you will have two mini memoirs – concise pieces of writing to leave for your children and grandchildren. Or to share with them right now. Or with your friends, colleagues, fellow travelers through life.
    Your mini-memoirs will be in your unique voice and will be well crafted. They will be a window into the life you’ve lived – and into your soul.

​

Class format

The class meets weekly on Zoom and is limited to 4 students. Every session, you will get a 30-minute block to present work and get coaching from me. 

​

Commitment and pre-class consultation

You should view this class as a serious commitment, one that requires dedication and a minimum of 3 hours of writing time each week.

In the week before the class begins, you and I will have a 15-minute 1:1 consultation to discuss the first piece you'll be working on and to set your writing schedule.
