For the next six weeks–July 30 through September 17, 2024–our focus will be writing six interconnected micro-memoirs of 300 words or less and studying Places We Left Behind: A Memoir-in-Miniature by Jennifer Lang.

The replay of tonight’s session spells out our plan step-by-step, answers your questions, and sets you up for a successful time of reading and writing.

Each week during this period, we will:

1. read about twenty-five (25) pages of Places We Left Behind
2. discuss the text based on the discussion question posted
3. write a micro-memoir of 300 words or less on the over-arching topic you chose
4. post your micro-memoir on the page dedicated to that part (week)
5. read and comment on your fellow Life Writers’ stories
