Description

Have you ever wanted to write a family story but just haven’t found the time? Maybe you couldn’t make yourself sit down to do it? This write-in gives you the dedicated time, space, and company to finally make it happen. You’ll come away with a draft, feedback, and ideas for next steps. To join, all you need is a family member or event in mind that you want to write about. You’re welcome to bring supporting materials such as photos, letters, etc. We’ll meet for two hours—one hour to actually write together, and the second hour we’ll share what we wrote (if we want), discuss our projects, and talk about the short reading distributed prior to class.
