Though this class is offered as part of the Certificate in Memoir Writing, there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. Agents often share that what makes a memoir stand out in the marketplace is a strong author’s voice. In this workshop we will uncover the soul of the writing with fun and interactive voice techniques to make the storytelling as dynamic as possible. Students will also learn how to craft smooth transitions as well as how to enter and exit a chapter or scene. Participants will gain a better understanding how to create a seamless text that takes the reader between past memories (flashbacks) and present-day experiences and observations. We will work on bringing the theme of the piece to life so that the manuscript will resonate with universal meaning. Symbolism will also be explored as a way to deepen the writing and flesh out the theme of your book. 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. Our textbook, 7 Essential Writing Tools, is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle. Note: There is no class on July 1!

You can help make our roadways safe from impaired drivers until there are #NoMoreVictims. Saturday, October 22 at 7 a.m. San Diego City College 1313 Park Boulevard, San Diego Parking available south of Russ Boulevard at 16th Street Register to join Ken Collier's Crew and His Public Safety Family here: https://www.walklikemadd.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=19251 The 5K walk/run honors the memory of Deputy Ken Collier and continues the work he started in 2010 to save lives. Our goal is to raise awareness on the impact impaired driving can have on families after a loved one is killed by a drunk or drugged driver. Why We Walk Twelve years ago, Deputy Ken Collier was killed while trying to stop a driver who was drunk and high on drugs going the wrong way on SR-52 in Santee. His life was cut short robbing his family of a son, brother and fiancé. We also lost a treasured colleague. Impaired driving impacts two out of three people in their lifetime. Every hour, someone is killed in a DUI crash. There are real people behind these numbers. Together, we can stop drunk and drugged driving, as well as prevent underage drinking by simply walking. All of the funds raised from the walk will help to educate youths and parents about the consequences of underage drinking and driving. Some of the money will be used to help victims or close loopholes in many existing laws.
