This is not a course about learning how to write, using proper grammar, or learning punctuation. It is to help writers develop the sustainable processes, practices and habits that will get them to “The End” of that first draft. More than 80% of the adult population has a story to tell and it has never been more accessible or more affordable for the average person to get a book into print. This course will focus on the first step - writing the first draft of your book. Our instructor, Jacque Jones is the author of four self-published novels (under the pen name Jacque Alanbery). She is excited to share her passion and help others get published! NEW WRITING YOUR MEMOIR Do you have a personal story to tell? Do you have stories needing to be on the page (or computer)? Would you like to write down key life memories to share with your friends, family and maybe even the larger community? Much of one’s life story is lost if it is not written down. Join this class to learn and develop writing techniques and processes to organize, narrate, and describe your life experiences. You will have the opportunity to get feedback to improve your story and will leave this class with a written memory (or two or three) ready to share! The instructor, Fran Martens Friesen, is a writing professor who recently wrote and published her own memoir in 2024. She is happy to share her own experiences of writing, editing and publishing. Please join us! No class meeting 4/2.
