I would highly recommend this class, as it is helping me tell stories in a more effective way. I… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: Christmas is Coming!

Stacey’s Memoir Monday Post: Wedding Memories
I've been admiring Ruth's Photoshop talent for quite some time. She encouraged me to try out Photoshop Elements 7.0 (PSE), which has a free online trial. I started toying around with it yesterday. I wound up becoming sentimental (my first wedding anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks) and created four layouts using… Continue reading Stacey’s Memoir Monday Post: Wedding Memories

Stacey’s Memoir Monday Post: In-Process About My Closest Friend
Through the years... Originally uploaded by teachergal I took one of the lean prompts, and some of the questions Sprague gave us during the Stories in Hand Class, and used them to start writing a piece about my best friend and I (and how we met). Then, I started doing some writing, in which I… Continue reading Stacey’s Memoir Monday Post: In-Process About My Closest Friend

Ruth’s Memoir Monday: Thanksgiving
Growing up, we traveled deep into the hills of the Ozarks in Arkansas for Thanksgiving dinner with my grandparents. We used to sing, "Through the river and over the hills to Grandma's house we go," since we actually drove through a creek and traversed over mountains to get to our Thanksgiving feast. This year, my… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: Thanksgiving

Moments of Clarity
Snowden Campbell presented at NCTE on Saturday afternoon. She shared a strategy called "Moments of Clarity" with us. Moments of Clarity are essentially epiphanies we have as humans... it's when we realize something big that happened to us in life and when it happened. (I drew a t-chart where one side had "what it was"… Continue reading Moments of Clarity

Memories of Snow Days
This week's Memoir Monday Post was a cinch for me to do since I'm writing about my roots for the "Stories in Hand" Class I've been taking. I let my writing take me a little off-course from the prompt Sprague gave us, which was, "How much snow was there as a child?" I like the… Continue reading Memories of Snow Days

Stacey’s M.M. Post: Carrying It All With Me
Overstuffed File Tote Originally uploaded by teachergal When I lived in Manhattan I never carried that much stuff to and from school daily. After all, I couldn't negotiate the stairs on the subway platforms at 86th and 103rd Streets with too much in my hands. Therefore, I'm perplexed at how much stuff I take to… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M. Post: Carrying It All With Me
