Memoir Writing Intensive with Jennifer Lauck

I started this blog because author Jennifer Lauck suggested I do so. I was one of her first writing students, and at my second or third workshop, she said all of us should be blogging. Oh, the thrill, the first time I hit “publish.” Oh, the lack of sleep which came with feeling so very exposed. But the thrill!

Jennifer taught me so much about writing. She honored the beginner. She challenged the more experienced writer. Back then, she made me believe I could really do it. My first published piece, (and the one I am still most proud of) came during my first writing workshop with her. That piece was written with my whole body. Every cell. Something gave way that day up in the Colorado mountains. It was a huge release.

I had Jennifer’s list of writing rules taped to my computer where I could see them for years until I no longer needed them. That list was gold, baby!

I have met so many wonderful people as a result of Jennifer’s workshops. Dear, dear friends.

Jennifer is having a workshop in Pittsburgh in September. Details below. I won’t be there, life takes me in a different direction at this time, but if you feel the pull, go! Jennifer is a talented writer. You will learn much.
