Turning Flax into Gold: Spinning Memories into Stories

Saturday, Nov. 5
10 am – 4 pm
UCSD Extension

Writing by handOur memories are thick with the stuff that makes good stories, fictional or “true.” Whether you’re writing a memoir or a personal narrative essay, or just thinking of starting one, or if you just want to experience the sometimes surprising, occasionally painful, often joyful exploration of writing your memories, this workshop will lead you into your own rich storehouse of material. Fiction writers can use the memory excavations for transplanting into novels or short stories. In this one-day workshop, we’ll write and read in the supportive atmosphere of like-minded explorers, find out what makes a good story, and learn elements of the craft along the way.
