Nurture your writer spirit and join us for an instructive day of immersive writing!
Ellen Blum Barish leads this enchanting writers' day devoted to jump-starting, refreshing, or completing a work-in-progress in a magical setting. Let's extract a personal story from your memory-body-dreams-psyche and release it into the world!
We'll fill the day with short and long writing prompts, a variety of readings, deep discussion of personal narratives, and of course, ample expert feedback. These experience will be enhanced with inspiring music, a walking meditation on Ragdale's bucolic campus, a delicious lunch provided by a private chef, and, of course, unlimited coffee and tea...all to help keep the writer energy moving forward!
Prompts • Feedback • Writing Time • Delicious Lunch
We’ll talk about what makes memoir unique from other genres, along with: ways to structure memoir; elements of personal narrative; marker moments; and voice and style development.
Whether you want to return to a writing practice, write a story for legacy, prepare for publication, or just have a day of writing fun, this workshop will get your creative juices flowing and provide you with concrete steps to inspire your best work.
