In this creative writing workshop, we will look at and discuss the following (and more):

How to tell the historical or emotional truths, but with mercy, respect and while practicing the golden rule.
Placing our family within their historical, social, linguistic and cultural contexts.
How to convey the story’s meaning for you, the writer. Or, “Why are you writing this family story now?”
Writing our family truths with humility and integrity, AKA, practicing “the Willie Nelson rule.”
