I had to laugh at myself, because in typical Bekah fashion, I left for the first class wayyyyyyy too early and ended up arriving before the library even opened. So this time I had a better sense of my travel and time and could leave a bit later. Except this time I hit e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. red light and got behind one car going about fifteen miles an hour below the speed limit, so I ended up being later than I wanted to be. Oh good grief.
The majority of the people in attendance were the same ones that came to the first workshop, but there were a few who hadn't been able to attend the second one and a couple that joined up late!
It is so much fun to watch all the people dive into their assignments at the end of the session. One of them even told me she gets lost in every exercise. Love hearing that! :)
I'm enjoying the opportunity to share these and hope to be able to do this series again sometime (many sometimes) with other groups!
If you're local, it's not too late to join in if you want! We'll be meeting up again on August 4th!

Such a great way to get people to think about their writing!
Was "Writing Your Story" a concept/ subject that you came up with yourself or did someone request this of you? Just curious about its inception. It's so cool that you're teaching this class.
Tamar - Thank you! They seem to be embracing it well!
Maria - I've had a LOT of people contact me over the years asking for help in writing their stories. Some want me to actually do it for them, but I'm not always able to take on a project the size they have in mind. Most want to do it themselves, but they just don't know how to begin or make it happen. So I wrote these classes with that in mind. They're intended to teach the average person (not necessarily aspiring book authors) to organize their memories and write about their own stories to preserve them for future generations.
