Nice work today, all, as we start our journey into memoir writing. A couple of reminders before you all leap into spring break:
- Fiction Assignments are due on Blackboard today (April 14). For assignment details, see this post:Fiction Assignment. After they are graded, I will post instructions for the revisions.
- Readings for the Memoir Quiz (Monday, May 9) are on this post: Readings for the Memoir Quiz May 9 will be here before you know it! You could get a head start during spring break.
For today’s discussion of memoir, we looked at the following resources. These are not assignments, I’m adding these here in case you want to rewatch or read further:
- Sakinah Hoffler’s discussion of using memoir to “un-silence the silences” in our lives: How Creative Writing Can Help You Through Life’s Hardest Moments
- We looked at these Tips for Writing Memoir
- And, we looked at these descriptions: Resources on Creative Non-Fiction and Memoir on Purdue OWL
As always, I am writing this to you live! I have ZOOM office hours if you have questions, T/Th from 4-5 pm:(https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82754062261)
See you in class on Tuesday, April 26 and in the meantime, write on,
Prof. Sears
