Option #2
Creative Writing with Ruth Naylor 1:00-2:15 p.m.
The goal is to inspire you to do some of the writing –serious and/or humorous- that you’ve previously just thought about doing. I’ll offer a variety of prompts to help you turn memories and insights into prose or poetry. You’ll be invited but not required to share with our group what you write; however, both now and in the future, you and your loved ones will undoubtedly value what you have captured and saved about significant life experiences, relationships, and implicit values. Bring writing materials –a notebook, pen, pencil, or laptop.
- Registration deadline is September 7th.
