We will play with different versions of our own voice and discover different pathways that we might choose to explore through writing. We will read, discuss, write and (if you'd like to) share what we've created. Whether you're ready to write your juicy tell-all memoir, are interested in bringing your own unique lens to the quotidien, or want to discuss hard-hitting global issues, this workshop will leave you with new ideas and techniques for developing your work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopics include: conversational storytelling, capturing a moment, writing what you love (and what you hate), research\/learning through writing, learning about yourself through writing, exploring your archive, automatic writing\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePre-reading will be sent our prior to the workshop.
