Writing from life can be a tricky business. There are people to protect, faulty memories of events, and the pitfalls of self-censorship and self-aggrandizement. This workshop recognizes our lives are too rich not to write about, and our imaginations are too strong to ignore. In this class, we will discuss literary elements such as character, dialogue, setting, fragmented narrative and story arc. We will write by drawing on memory and its gaps and the truth and lies of our lives.

This is a two-day multi-genre craft class taking place on Saturday, December 6th and Sunday, December 7th from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM ET. This class is presented in partnership with the Fine Arts Work Center Online and is open to all writers.
