Expand your gift for prose to writing fiction from your own life experiences. Craft epics tales of good fiction that slightly drift from “just the facts ma’am”, while getting feedback from other writers as well as your instructor. During each prompt in this three hour event, participants will unveil layers of wordsmithing prowess by writing vignettes of memory, based on: life’s experiences, everlasting encounters (good and bad), people and places you vividly recall, and so forth. Transform each memoir into a respectfully reconstructed piece of fiction not confined by autobiographical ‘fact’. Open to beginners as well as the more experienced writers.
