I learned more than I taught in my first Writing Class and I have these wonderful writers to thank.
We’re missing three more (they had unfortunate or unexpected events arise, and were deeply missed!), but this group was so special and I couldn’t have asked for more compassionate and understanding, generous and helpful people to introduce my course and the shape of my ideas to.
I came overprepared, which is my M.O. (I created and brought stapled paper packets to this and to my book club, and brought a giant notebook and pens and name tags, and Hanna correctly summarized it’s because I care too much), but the presentation was timed right, I stayed mostly on track, and the most joy I felt was hearing everyone else’s experiences in their own writing.
So grateful to them and everything they brought to the table.
If you missed it, BOO, but honestly this was a good size! For the three participants who had things come up, I filmed the whole class, and I’ll be sharing that with them as a thank you for signing up and believing in this thing.
One more time: THANK YOU. Heart’s full. Eyes teary. Brain’s tired.
See you this weekend at Twin Cities Con.
