Transforming Memories into Story

Surprisingly, everyday objects, actions, and moments of no obvious importance are home to memories waiting for our attention. We often don't know why until we write about them. By turning our memories into simple and brief stories (under 1,000 words), we learn what they have to tell us.

No previous writing experience is required. This is not a workshop, but those who wish to share their writing will find a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
