I will be teaching a workshop called Capturing the Difficult Times at the Women’s Writing Retreat at the Pyramid Life Center in Paradox NY.

Whether you want to publish or put your work away in a drawer, writing can help you understand the challenges you’ve faced. We’ll look at personal stories from varying angles and use different ways to capture those times in our writing using letters, poetry, fiction, or personal essays. Your story might be anything from a bad hair day, a difficult relationship, a tragic loss, or a combination of difficult times. The focus in the workshop will be the writing itself. We’ll take hold of the stories rather than them having a hold on us.
