About the Offering
ASYNCHRONOUS
It’s so confusing: in the vast experience of a life lie the compelling themes of narrative and story, but how to choose? How to begin? What matters? This class, with a mix of personal prompts, feedback and discussion, will help you use the confusion to identify the essential stories (and cast off some obvious ones) taking you deeper into them, no matter the subject. I will help you quiet the censors in your head and develop the confidence of personal permission that is the foundation of good writing.
Materials Needed
