Our lives are a series of interconnected stories leading to who we are now with perhaps some shadows cast into the future of who we might want to be. This class will begin by writing and sharing the stories of our lives with each other. Through this kind of writing you will have the opportunity not only to learn about fellow LLI classmates, but also yourself. Have the opportunity to explore non-narrative kinds of writing that may have their origins in our stories. First-time writers to write an introductory autobiographical essay before our first meeting but members who have taken previous itterations of this class are welcome to join as it will both introductory and a follow on class at once. Please plan on bringing your laptops in the class or print out copies for others to read.
