About

This weekend workshop is a primer on writing the modern memoir, which, unlike your grandmother's memoir, can be written at any age. Also, a memoir can be about just part of your life. "The more you are present, the more the past will come up and be alive," says Natalie. "Only right now can give you your past."

TOPICS INCLUDE HOW TO:

Crack Open Structure
Listen Effectively
Use Specific Detail
Quiet Your Monkey Mind
Find a New Angle
Fail Successfully
Make Connections with Your Mind

Natalie Goldberg is a teacher, writer, poet and painter who lives in New Mexico. The first of her many books was Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, published in 1986, which has sold over one million copies and been translated into over a dozen languages.
