Our lives are collections of short stories with characters, conflicts and plot points more riveting than the bestsellers in the supermarket check-out line. Unfortunately, many of us keep our stories quietly to ourselves. Not anymore! This 2-day writing workshop invites students to speak up, putting their stories down on paper in all their juicy detail. Participants will take the raw material of their pasts and - using fundamental literary tools like sensory details, narration and story structure - shape them into the powerful personal narratives where they were destined to be. All participants will have the opportunity to share and receive feedback on their work.
