Life Writing

This course gives you the opportunity, inspiration, and community to reflect on some of the memorable incidents in your life.

Overview

'We live life twice - once in the moment- and again upon reflection.' - Anaïs Nin

Instructor Linda Steinman provides prompts, helpful strategies, and encouragement. No special writing skills are needed, but we will discuss ways to make your stories (scenes from your life) vivid and interesting to read. The goal is not publication; rather, you will create a montage of experiences to be appreciated by those who come after you.

The reflective work you do in this course can become rich creative fuel for visual art, collage, mixed media, painting, photography, or other future artistic practices. Personal memories, family histories, sensory details, and emotional turning points can serve as powerful source material — inspiring imagery, themes, symbols, and narrative structures in your personal artwork.

This authorly space is low in risk and high in satisfaction.
