I will be offering a free writing workshop on Friday, Jan. 26, from 2-3 PM, at Woods Memorial Library in Tucson. https://pima.bibliocommons.com/events/6579f6a5eb28943d007bd4ef
Make writing come alive with this interactive PowerPoint presentation of selected short readings accompanied by illustrations and a discussion of the creative writing and publishing process. Fables are one of the oldest kinds of storytelling. Simply put, a fable is a brief tale meant to illustrate a moral. Like all fables, The Family That Wasn’t is written in simple language readily understood and appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds. Fables give us a chance to find humor in the human condition. Best of all, they are fun! Whether you are a poet or fiction writer, the fable can help you explore new ways to write your poems and stories. The program runs about 40-45 minutes and is suitable for audiences ranging from middle grade to adult.
