In this class we will revisit the main building blocks of your memoir as well as hone the essential skill sets needed to complete your first draft. We will pay special attention to your structure, character arc and scene writing. We will also cover How to Write a Book Proposal in the last session of the class. Since the former sessions work on learning individual skill sets (think one melody at a time), this class is vital to assist the writer in learning how to use all of the skill sets at once for a first draft (think symphony). Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self. We will be using the textbook 7 Essential Writing Tools, which is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle.

Join us as we look behind the scenes at the pioneering legacy of John Diedrich Spreckels with historian Dr. Sandra Bonura. She authored the newly released biography, "Empire Builder: John D. Spreckels and the Making of San Diego." You will be introduced to the man who almost single-handedly built our city after building empires in sugar, shipping, transportation, and construction up and down California and across the Pacific. After "discovering" our bankrupt village in 1887, he left everything behind to follow his heart, and within a few years, he controlled the majority of San Diego's industry. In fact, at the beginning of the 20th century one in fifteen San Diegans worked for a Spreckels-owned company. This event is free and open to the public, and there is no need to pre-register.
