| Recording your Life: Writing a Personal Narrative |
| |
Monday, March 19, 2012; 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM  U of I Lifetime Enrichment Adult Program
Examine and record your unique life experiences through creative writing. People write personal narratives for a number of different reasons. Whatever our own personal motivation, this course will provide us with a supportive and constructive environment to creatively explore our lives on the page. Participants will read inspiring works, respond to writing prompts, talk about effective writing techniques, and receive constructive feedback, if you wish to share your work with the class.
By the end of the course, you will generate material you may want to consider publishing, or even use as the seed for a book-length memoir.
Mieke Eerkens has a BA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University, an MA in English Literature from Leiden University in The Netherlands, and a pending MFA in Nonfiction Creative Writing from the UI. Her writing has been published in The Sun Magazine, Common Ties, Em Literary, Moviemaker, Res, and the upcoming anthology Best Travel Writing 2011, among other publications.
