New Memoir Writers Group at CBPL, Nov. 17

A new, fledgling writing group is forming at Coos Bay Public Library.  The Palm of the Hand Memoir writers will meet once a month on the third Thursday of the month at 11:00 a.m. in the library’s Cedar Room, beginning Thursday, Nov. 17th.   After attending a workshop on Palm of the Hand, attendees decided they wanted to further explore this technique. Palm of the Hand memoirs are brief (usually one page) writings on a particular memory.  The technique involves jotting down memories, selecting one, revisiting it, and writing about it.  New members are encouraged to attend.  Since the group is new, ideas for how to proceed will be welcome.  Readings, sharing and discussion will offer budding memoirists an opportunity to get their feet wet.  For more information about Palm of the Hand memoirs visit http://www.foothillspublishing.com/poh/.  For more information about the local group, call or visit the library:  541.269.1101; 525 Anderson Avenue.
