Have you lived an interesting life? Or, to put it another way, have you had some interesting and unique experiences in your life that you would like to share with others? The hardest part is putting it into words. Of course you lived the experience, but how do you find the right words and put them in the right order to convey that experience? The Effingham Public Library is here to help.

Tell your story using fun and creative writing prompts and share them with the group. It’s open to all skill levels and the best part is that you will leave the class with stories for your family and friends. Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook and a pen.

If you don’t think that you have anything worthwhile to write about and share with others, then consider this quote from writer, Frank McCourt. “You’re beginning to hear the tale of the common man and woman rather than the traditional memoir about the generals who just finished the war or the politicians who just rendered glorious service to the country.” Share your story.
