A New Course from Amanda Page and Live it to the Full
Writing the Relationship Between Who You Are
and the Family You’re From
In Home is a Hard Lesson, we explored the places we’re from, the region, the town, and how these environments shaped us. In Home is a Hard Lesson, Part 2, we’ll examine the domestic landscapes that built us, at times tore us down, and ultimately played the most significant role in who we became – not the most important role, but the foundation for who we decided to become. We’ll write about our families, our traditions, what we rebelled against and what we continue to hold dear.
For two weeks, the focus is on the family you’re from, your roots, and the hold it may or may not still have on you.
Join us in February 2013 for Home is a Hard Lesson, Part 2 a two week online writing workshop led by Amanda Page. Class price is $39 and includes daily posts (Monday through Friday) and prompts. Class begins February 18 and runs through February 29. Register today.
For this class, you’ll need: memories, a little angst, willingness to explore, an interest in your hometown, and an interest in sharing your impressions with others.
