AUTHOR, LORRAINE DUVALL presents A WRITING WORKSHOP

RESERVE YOUR PLACE TODAY - for Saturday, April 6, 1-3 pm

For some, there is a deep urge to create, to communicate,

and account for and with self, soul, and others, through and

by whatever portal has taken hold…

Adirondack award-winning, local author Lorraine Duvall

explores “WHY do you have a desire to write.” She will share how she

came about writing her memoirs after retiring, and what inspires her to

keep going.

Workshop Participants will have the opportunity to answer this prompt

in writing, and then share with the group – if they like. Participants need to

bring writing materials including a journal or writing pads. They will leave

with some writing tips and a list of suggested sources to inspire them, such

as Anne Lamott’s book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and

Life.

Lorraine Duvall suggests reviewing the inspirational treatise by Terry

Tempest Williams provides sixty+ reasons she writes, including, I write to

make peace with the things I cannot control, I write to honor beauty, I write

to forget, I write as a witness to what I have seen, I write knowing words

always fall short, I write to listen, ….

WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING:

Tahawus Cultural Center has created a layer of artistic culture to our area which brings

awareness and opportunities to our residents. I have participated in a number of workshops,

including barre classes for adults, line dancing, and spun cotton, and am looking forward to upcoming events. HG
