About the event
We carry a multitude of stories inside us, whether they live in our banks of memory, imagination, or both. We’ve been telling stories since we first hopped off the bus and reported to our mothers what happened at school that day or protested, honest-to-god, we weren’t the ones who ate all of Auntie Jean’s oatmeal-chocolate-chunk cookies.
Storytelling is natural. So is writing. Sometimes we forget that. In this workshop we'll remember. We'll remember the voices we first heard telling stories at the kitchen table and down at the corner store. We'll remember the voice we used when we first told a story and in our own attempts at writing, before anyone critiqued or graded us. And we'll practice trusting those voices.
