I have led writing workshops for many years in various settings—at HealthAlliance Hospital’s oncology support house, at the Omega Institute for Breast Cancer Options’ annual retreat, at Bard College’s Lifetime Learning Institute, and others. I am excited to be on this journey with you. And a journey, it is. Writing your truth through personal narrative/essay/memoir/poetry can take you to places in your own past that you might have forgotten. We’ll talk about what memoir is and how you can structure a meaningful legacy will to leave your loved ones. We will dive right into writing together at this workshop. I’ll provide notebooks or you can bring a laptop if you prefer. I will pull out a prompt or two for everyone to consider using and set a timer for 10-20 minutes. And then we’ll free-write. However the prompt hits you, whatever image you see or incident you think of—that’s what goes on the page. Afterwards, we’ll each have the opportunity to read what we’ve come up with and receive positive comments. See you at 10 a.m. sharp on January 26! Bring a brown bag lunch. I’ll make some treats and put on the kettle! And thank you for joining the group— Ann Hutton (cell/text 845 750-7967)
