Join Yvonne for an afternoon of writing and reading. The class will include warm up activities that will help you explore the what of your writing as well as readings and assignments that focus on language and descriptive detail. There will be opportunities to ask questions of Yvonne, to meet other writers and to explore your life stories. Come with paper and pen (or a computer) and lots of energy to read, write and share if you are willing.
