Thank you for the book list recommendations

Hi L!

It was so nice meeting you at the First Person Arts memoir writing class.

It will be nice to keep in touch. If you ever want to meet for coffee/tea/chocolate or for writing company, please let me know. I live near XXX, but am happy to go almost anywhere.

After this month I hope to continue with my novel (and hopefully some memoir writing), so it will be nice to have a friend who is considering writing along the same lines from time to time. Maybe we can get some writing under our belts and then join Lori for her class next year.

Below is the memoir list she shared with me. Thanks for sharing a few titles with me earlier today.

Thank you! "Finding Your Voice" Memoir class

Dear Lori,

I want to thank you for the wonderful memoir class you taught over the past two Saturdays at the First Person Arts Festival.

You really boosted my creative juices. Your lessons gave me tools for getting started and your exercises gave me ideas for observing and writing on a daily basis. A simple walk to the mailbox is now an opportunity to reflect on life, dialog, relationships and stories.

Thank you also for your comments on the homework that I emailed to you. I didn't know that I had so many words and experiences to share. The assignment made me realize that if I just sit down and take the time to reflect, I can come up with treasured memories that I have long forgotten.

My husband and I would like to invite your husband and you over for dinner - before the holidays or after, whichever is more convenient for you. If you are interested, please send along a few dates when you have a chance, and we'll take it from there.

Thank you again,

Karen
