I know I have not posted in a while. I do appreciate the fact that several have commented on that. It lets me know that people are reading it. I have several excuses but since many of you that read this are former teachers I will not bother.
I have been enjoying a writing class sponsored by the ALS association. People have talked about wanting to leave stories of their life. One of the community centers has someone who regularly teaches a life stories class. This is an opportunity to see if it something that would be valuable to offer regularly.
Using various phrases Judith has had us write short pieces in class and others for homework. We then share what we have written and make comments.. Last Friday we talked about the use of dialog to convey feelings. Another time was about leaving room for the reader to bring their own experience to mind. I don't know if you will notice any difference in my writing but I am enjoying the class.
