What You’ll Learn

  • What makes a good story? And how do WE make a good story? First, I’ll clear away the fears and obstacles that have kept you from writing, (like, you think your life has been too dull to matter? [Absurd!] OR that you’re not a good enough writer? [WRONG!]

  • I’ll teach you the difference between the Outer Story and the Inner Story. Then we’ll learn how to make the Outer story come alive on the page through Scene-making. With this approach, even small quiet moments can become captivating stories.

  • Finally, we’ll learn how to discover the Inner story. We’ll focus on an amazing technique that will free you to discover healing and meaning through the events of your life.

I will share my story, with hopes that in some small way, it will facilitate conversations that foster racial reconciliation and healing, social justice, and a deeper understanding of our differences and similarities. I encourage anyone who wants to write and tell their stories, to take this class!”
