Description

How can we write our life story without glossing over life as it genuinely happens? Whether we journal or blog, someday our posterity may read what we have to say, and when they do, will they get to know us as real people with struggles and challenges? This workshop will discuss ways to record life authentically in our writing, but still inspire and teach our readers.
