Your life is rich with unique personal experiences, gems that are too good to be forgotten. You want to write short pieces, for now. Maybe you'll string them together later in a memoir or anthology, or maybe they'll stand alone. Let's explore the eight classic forms of personal essay, choose a couple, develop and express them, and then share them with a group who will support you with a positive but uniquely targeted feedback.

In addition to ghost co-authoring memoirs (The Maverick and the Machine, with Gov. Dan Walker, SIU Press--Best Memoir of 2007--SDBA) and novels (a Silhouette Athena Force adventure), Peggy Lang teaches memoir writing, personal essay, and literary craft at UCSD Extension and elsewhere, and enjoys writing as a non-ghost whenever possible.
