		<description><![CDATA[All the memoir classes I had taught previously were broken into two hour segments. This workshop would go for eight hours straight, so one challenge would be to tailor the course to this new format. And I worried about my stamina. Would they need to carry me out on a stretcher at the end of the day? Over the next few weeks, I worked out a class schedule that I felt would offer the same value as the individual sessions. And the best way to find out if I could survive an all-day class was to try. My wife and I agreed the Rockies would create a welcome diversion from south eastern Pennsylvania, so we said "Yes. Let's do it." <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/memoir-workshop-story/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Standing up from breakfast, ready to head to the car, it occurred to me that this man had a profound connection with the area. I said, "You must know a lot about the history of this place." That got him started and he told me the whole story. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/instant-regional-memoir-at-a-bed-and-breakfast/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to write your memoir some day, try this experiment. Think about today as an important day. What parts of your life right now, today, this month, this year, will be worth reading? This exercise can expand your relationship to memoir writing. For one thing, it will give you an incentive to keep a journal. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/today-is-the-first-day-of-the-rest-of-your-memoir/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I heard the concept of making memories was years ago, in Victoria Island in British Columbia staying at a Bed and Breakfast run by a retired couple. The sun was shining brightly through picture windows that opened down a hill towards the docked boats in the harbor. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/memories-past-present-and-future/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
