This fun and inspirational workshop will help writers of all levels to discover your powerful life stories. You do not have to be a writer&mdash;just willing to let your memories flow onto paper. Terri Schexnayder, author and writing instructor, will offer prompts based on poetry, fiction or nonfiction to generate ideas for your memoir. All you have to bring is paper and a writing instrument, plus the willingness to write your stories. Presenter:&nbsp;Terri Schexnayder found her passion for writing when she was a young girl, creating neighborhood plays and short stories. She continued to communicate effectively through the written word during her 30-plus years in advertising, helping corporate, nonprofit and state clients. At GSD&amp;M Advertising, she led the statewide events, marketing, and media relations for the successful &quot;Don&#39;t Mess with Texas&quot; anti-litter campaign. She now works with adults to help edit and bring out their voice in manuscripts, essays and other nonfiction works. Schexnayder loves writing with her third through sixth grade students during summer camp workshops. Schexnayder is a graduate of St. Edward&#39;s University, English Literature, summa cum laude, and has published two nonfiction works: A Majestic History: 100 Years of the Paramount Theatre and her memoir, &quot;Raising Katie &amp; Selling Radio in 1970s Austin&quot; available on Amazon. Location: Meet in the Light House Please note that all event tickets are non-refundable, though if Emberlight cancels the event for any reason, a full refund will be issued.
