Finding Theme & Structure in Your Memoir
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $45 - $54
Every story, every memoir, has a theme; this is how we organize the material. If you don’t know the theme of your memoir, you won’t have a structure. What you’ll have will probably be a beautiful mess—memories, reflections, opinions, fragments, bits and pieces that ramble all over the place. Theme determines which of these gets included in the story. In this workshop, we’ll use writing exercises and examples to explore questions that can help determine your memoir’s theme and we’ll talk about the many different structures your memoir can take that best tell your story. With Judy Reeves.
