TELLING OUR TRUTH: WRITING ABOUT THE EVERYDAY EXTRAORDINARY: Zoom link & info for SUNDAY 2/27 workshop with Alejandro Nodarse @ 1 pm ET

Hi Everyone,

I’m so delighted to welcome you tomorrow to Las Dos Brujas’ first online workshop!

Here’s a note of preparation from Alejandro:

“Come prepared with a few blank sheets of paper to draw on. In addition to having something to write on and something to write with, we're going to be doing a little drawing (no skills necessary!) to aid us in our quest to unearth some good stories.”

Here’s a description of the workshop:

TELLING OUR TRUTH: WRITING ABOUT THE EVERYDAY EXTRAORDINARY
 
Anne Lamott once said: “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories.” This session explores broad approaches to identifying and developing new writing projects based on our personal histories. Which moments are rife with raw material and exploding with potential? Where is the “emotional heat”, as Cristina García says, that drives our narratives? How does one excavate facts, details, and meaning from everyday experiences? A blend of lecture and generative exercises, this session will help writers identify which personal experiences might tell a good story while structuring the events for maximum clarity and emotional impact. 

PLEASE JOIN US!! I’ll be there to greet everyone then let Alejandro work his magic. The workshop is 90 minutes.

Finally, can we get a head count on who’s planning to come? Please check in with a ‘yes’ in the comments section. If there’s enough interest, we hope to offer more workshops down the road. Looking forward …

Abrazos,

Cristina
