Writing Your Own Personal Story
This month we are offering Albany seniors a writing workshop that will not only develop your skills as a writer, but will assist you in preserving a moment in your life that can be shared with family or friends. Maybe you have a story for your family or something about your life that won’t be remembered unless it’s in writing.
Writer and storyteller Donna Miller would like to take you on a guided journey through your important memories and life experiences. With some writing skills development and some conversation and laughter, (and a little coffee and snacks!) you can write that story that has always been on your mind. Bring your imaginations and your sense of humor!
Donna Miller’s new memoir Mad Random: Claiming Life Out of Chaos, was just published. The book details part of her life experience raising a son who experienced serious emotional disabilities. She has been published in international fashion and travel magazines, and featured in newspapers and on public radio.
