Many people think about writing their life story, but most never get around to it because they consider the task too daunting, or they feel their life is not interesting, or they believe they are not “good” writers. Some simply procrastinate, waiting for that perfect writing opportunity: undisturbed time, a lovely writing room, an uncluttered desk, or inspiration. In this workshop, you will learn how to tap into your memory and create and piece together moments of your life literally five minutes at a time. The purpose of the workshop--which will be presented by Edvige Giunta, Professor of English at New Jersey City University--is to give participants usable and readily available tools to get started on the exciting journey of memory work and autobiographical writing. The workshop is free, but REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. To register, call the Cranford Public Library at 908-709-7272 and ask for the Reference Desk, or email library@cranfordnj.org. If emailing, please include your telephone number. This program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
