life Sketches
in Words
Six weeks of prompts to get you writing about your own life. A new topic each week. Every week writing, conversation and sharing. All designed to spark your memory and to get words down onto the page. Later, you can rework and revise those words. This course is about generating drafts and stories to get you started.
​
Writing is a solo act, but when we do it in the company of others also engaged in capturing memories with words on the page it is both fun and remarkably productive.
Wednesday mornings, 10 a.m. to 12 noon (Winnipeg time)
October 8, 15, 22, 29 & November 5, 12, 2025

Prompts
It's your life and you can write about anything. But where to start? What to write about? We introduce a new topic each week to focus your memories and to give you a creative constraint to get the words flowing.
Writing
This course is focused on getting you writing, so each session has three dedicated directed writing periods. By the end of the course, you can have as many as 18 drafts to take into your writing practice for refinement and revision.
Conversation & Community
Each session is centred on a particular topic designed to spark your memory and your writing. We encourage conversation because we know that sharing is a powerful way of sparking our imagination and nurturing our creativity. Everyone is invited to share; no one is required to share.
