Memoir Writing Group Meeting at Library A new memoir writing group will meet at the Effingham Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 1 p.m. in the Luttrell Room.

 Focused on writing about their life story for their family and friends or just for themselves, this writing group welcomes newcomers and all level of writers. Typically meeting for two hours, participants are encouraged to bring writing that they’ve worked on to share with the group.

At each meeting possible writing prompts are shared. Participants are encouraged to consider various aspects of their life story by exploring topics like: “A School You Went To.” The writing prompt or assignment to prepare for the September meeting is to write about “Your Relationship with Nature.” Each member may read their writing aloud.

During the meeting, participants also have 15 to 20 minutes to write about another topic that will be drawn from an envelope of prompt ideas. It too will be shared with the group.
