The Pass Post
A five-week series, “Flash Writing Your Memoir,” will begin at the Pass Christian Library on Wednesday, October 16. Author Deborah Tainsh will facilitate the workshop, which will begin at 2 p.m. and will continue weekly on Wednesday afternoons through November 13.
The purpose of the workshop is to inspire and assist those attending the class to write stories for family posterity through flash, micro and creative nonfiction writing to tell true life or fictional stories. Ideally, participants will attend as many sessions as possible, but perfect attendance is not required.
Tainsh is the author of the novel Love’s Return; the memoir Heart of a Hawk: One Family’s Sacrifice and Journey Toward Healing; and essays published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul publications; and Folded Flag: Families of War Share Stories of Coping, Courage and Faith.
Tainsh has facilitated numerous creative and memoir writing workshops for libraries and Barnes and Noble stores in Georgia and Florida.
Anyone who is interested in writing is welcome to attend. Attendees are asked to bring their laptop or a pen and paper, as well as any writing that they are working on, if they would like to share.
Those who wish to attend are asked to call the library at 228-452-4596 to reserve their spot or for more information.
The library is located at 111 Hiern Avenue.
