Description
Member Event:
Stuff – we all have it. Some of us want to streamline our lives while others are looking to downsize. Whatever your reasons, along with the stuff, comes memories - the dining room set that hosted family suppers and celebrations, the t-shirt that you bought at a rock legend’s concert or the piece of pottery made by a close friend. These things hold stories.
So let’s tell them.
This way we can keep the story and give the object away.
Join Lea Storry on Zoom for
- writing exercises
- instruction in finding focus
- outlining your story
- writing description
- as well as discussions on memories, mindfulness and how to pass down our most valuable possessions – our stories.
No prerequisites or pre-existing pieces of writing are necessary for participation in this course.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Lea Storry is a published writer, editor and indie publisher. She knows that she can’t hold onto things just for the memories -- it’s the stories that matter, not the stuff. Lea has also instructed classes on memoir writing, creative writing, journaling, blogging, Kijiji and using social media.
