Picture
I liked that it was my dining room where our writing group would meet. On that first Thursday morning, I focused more on the others’ arrival than on what I would read. I scanned the living room they would walk through, straightened the magazines on the coffee table, and hung up the jacket my husband had thrown over the back of a chair. I made a pot of tea and set out mugs, sugar, and spoons. I was excited. 

I'd spent six years in Joan's memoir class, and for most of that time the stories seemed to pour from me. I loved writing memoir; I was pleased with my pieces, and a few that I completed in the workshop were published.

                                                                      Then I stopped signing up for the class.
