Also I presented “Transform Your Personal Experiences Into Potent Stories” Thank you to the participant-writers. Here are some comments from them:
I asked: What did you value most about the workshop?
- “Verbalizing what my readers will learn from my story.”
- “Good comments & tools from Teresa for moving forward.”
- “Handouts so organized.”
Your next steps with your stories?
- “Bring my stories out and start again—with your ideas for tools”
- “Find a publisher.”
- “Re-read my favorite novel & mark it up. Thank you, Teresa!”
My colleagues (Catharine Bramkamp, Laurel Anne Hill, Antoinette May, Susan M. Osborn) also presented their writing workshops.
