My experience with memoir writing was so-so I wasn’t really too fond of it. When I think of creative writing the first thing that comes to mind isn’t writing things from a personal aspect. When I hear creative writing I think of creating stories and characters not talking about my own experiences. I think I had this so-so feeling because I’m not someone who is outward with being personal let alone for it to be read by others and critiqued. I didn’t really understand how you can critique someone’s personal story. I tend to keep most things to myself and write them down only for my eyes to see. However I didn’t completely dislike memoir writing I do think that it is probably allowing me to express myself better. It’s a new experience which has taught me other skills like expanding when I write.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
