The St. Tammany Parish Library, Causeway branch, is resuming the popular Memoir Writing with Cathie McFarland. The next meetings will run from December 2011 through May of 2012.
The one and one half hour sessions will be offered on the second Wednesday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Causeway branch library. Dates of the program are as follows:
- December 14
- January 11
- February 8
- March 14
- April 11
- May 9
Through memoir writing participants enrich their own lives while doing the same for others. Memoir writers hone their writing skills, exercise creativity, sort out and seek to understand events of their past, achieve greater self-knowledge, interact with others in the writing process, and share their fascinating and unique stories with others, particularly family and friends.
Cathie McFarland is well equipped to guide the participants through the journey to retrieve and share their recollections in a written memoir. Ms. McFarland earned a B.A. in English from Texas A&M and a M.A. in English from the University of Houston. She taughtEnglish at Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans, as well as advanced placement English at Humble High School in Texas, and freshman and sophomore English at the University of Houston.
Participants can expect Ms. McFarland to introduce memoir writing, offer advice and prompts, read the memoir and comment on it (if desired by the writer).
The event is free and open to the public, and registration is required. Seating space is limited to adults. Please stop by the Causeway Branch, 3457 Highway 190, or call 985-626-9779 to register.
