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. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

The genre of short story is an art unto itself. In this course, we’ll take our cue from acclaimed short story collections from authors such as Jhumpa Lahiri and Flannery O’Connor and practice weaving tight and entire short-form narratives. In a typical class, we’ll spend 10-15 minutes examining a text, and use that as a launching point to generate during the remainder of the time. Texts: - "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri - "A Good Man is Hard to Find: And Other Stories" by Flannery O’Connor - "Pastoralia" by George Saunders San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Do you love jazz-pop artist Laufey? Did you know that she leads a book club? Well, now you can be a part of the Lauver book club community! Each session, be prepared to come ready to discuss one of Laufey’s picks––typically fiction with a whimsical bent. We’ll identify craft elements we love and discuss implementing those components in our own practices. This group will discuss one book per session, and will meet once every two months. Our first book will be "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahirim, which we will discuss on August 5. The book is available at this link on Amazon, but we appreciate if you obtain it through your local book store or borrow it from your local library. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
