But I Don't Remember: Speculation & Imagination in Creative Nonfiction/Memoir
Dates/Times: July 1st @ 3-5 pm ET
One of the most common laments I hear is “but I don’t remember exactly what happened.” In this class we’ll discuss how to build a story around what you don’t remember by using speculation and imagination to flesh out your narrative. We’ll do generative writing exercises about stories we don’t remember in vivid detail and I’ll share tools and tricks on how to jog your memory and craft narratives based on imagined scenarios. Get ready to find creative freedom and a deeper emotional truth far away from the facts of your story.
Ruthie’s not only an accomplished editor, she’s a writer too. You can find her essays in Vogue, Glamour, O Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Salon, Slate, Newsweek, and more. Most recently, she was the Deputy Editor at ForbesWomen.
What You’ll Get…
• generative exercises you can use in your work moving forward
• a new way to mine your memory for details that matter to your story
• a community of writers to connect with live
