    Author John Gardner said: "The best writing ... sets off a vivid and continuous dream." Join us in exploring how to turn our life stories into essays and memoirs that set off vivid dreams for readers, while helping us make sense of our lives. We will work with exemplary readings from the personal narrative genre and in-class writing exercises. Topics we'll cover include: using vivid sensory detail, the struggle for honesty, character development, writing in scenes, the power of place, and the hazards and pleasures of memory. This will be a hands-on class, so come prepared to write and participate in class discussion. "Stories order the chaos of our lives," says author Lisa Dale Norton (Shimmering Images). This class will be an opportunity to begin examining our personal stories and making sense of them. Part of the Enrich Your Life! courses for the community.
