Memoir Writing With Alison

I applied and received a $200 scholarship from Alison Wearing's Memoir Writing Class.

It is a commitment for three months. The learning curve will be phenomenal. My goal is to write better 

hopefully write a memoir with amazing success. Hooray for older women's successes, right?

And so I shall faithfully write as Alison instructs. I like her persona, the short videos, the prompts so far.

Thank you for this opportunity to whomever made the decision to help me financially.

This is not the only writing class I am taking, nor is it the only online class to which I have committed 

my money, my efforts, my time. I am reminded of "The Little Engine That Could" (Watty Piper, 1930)

I feel blessed to have all of these boxcars on my train track. Within each car is joy, challenges, 

opportunities and assignments.  I like this metaphor of a train. I think that the engineer might be

 overloaded at times. She may need to sort and shuffle the various boxcars. There may be weeks when

she just unhooks one or two and returns to pick them up.

Leaving the train yard now and heading to memoir writing lesson #1 and maybe #2.

I will keep you posted!
