Creative writing is a powerful vehicle for exploring the meaning of life experiences and sharing wisdom with others. In this interactive course, you'll dive into the depths of your imagination, discovering the power of words to illuminate your inner world and connect you with others. The personal narrative is a great genre for developing skills that you can apply to other forms of creative writing. Your source material is accessible, and you have a voice ready to be tapped.
Each session of this 4-week workshop includes focused instruction, writing time, and optional peer feedback through a guided critique model. You're invited to loosen up, take risks, and write with passion. Through playful prompts, guided writing exercises, and shared reflections, you'll discover the joy of writing without rules-and find your voice along the way.

Topics Covered:

• Getting Started: Finding your story and voice
• Structure & Momentum: How to shape your story
• Showing vs. Telling: Writing with vivid detail
• Sharing Your Work: Optional critique and revision
