Serving Up from Memory's Kitchen
Have you ever told a story about a great meal? Or perhaps a food disaster?
Food sears into our memories because it engages our senses.
Join in this three-hour workshop where we will playfully use food as writing inspiration, and cook up material for generating prose and poetry. Through writing exercises, prompts, and even recipes, we will craft delectable creations as we work together.
This workshop is intended as a spring jump start for all writers – those who have never written to those who write regularly and seek new ideas.
Instructor: DWC board member Catherine Young
When: Saturday, March 10, 2018, 9:00 a.m. to noon.
Where: Encore, 114 S. Main St., Viroqua
