Writer’s Idea Box: where i’m from

Memoir Writing

I have been facilitating a series of memoir writing workshops at a local senior activity center for the past decade. Here is one of the workshop syllabi for you.

I use the same format for each workshop: writing warm-up, sharing, exploring writing samples of the genre we are writing, writing exercises, and more sharing with what I like to call “soft feedback.”

Subscribe to be sure you get notifications of new prompts and publications in your inbox. It’s free.

This syllabus is adapted from a poem and a project by George Ella Lyon, Kentucky Poet Laureate 2015-26 entitled “Where I’m From.”

If you like what you are finding on fws, you can buy me a cup of coffee below! Thanks in advance.

Namaste,
