Write your memoirs


What could you write about the Jell-O of your past? Did your mom put canned fruit in it or cover it with cream cheese or whipping cream? Could you write a six-word memoir on this fruity tasting wiggly gelatin?
My fall memoir writing class begins Wednesday, Oct. 6 and runs through Wednesday, Nov. 10. It will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays at Lobo Elementary School (off Pico and Vista Montana), San Clemente. The cost is $99. This class is through the Capistrano Unified School District's Capistrano Adult School program. To register go online: http://www.asaonlinereg.com/capistrano/Classes.asp?txtAction=LoadSections&txtCourseGroupID=15&txtCourseCode=96726

Putting your past on paper can be a gift of healing for yourself and a gift to your loved ones. Take the journey and come celebrate your life.

  1. Hi Barbara,

    This is Alyssa from SMITH Magazine, the creator of the six-word memoir project. I'd like to invite you and your readers and students to submit their memoirs to sixwordmemoirs.com. There, memoirs are published to the site instantly and have the chance to be featured in an upcoming book.

    Thanks!
    Alyssa, SMITH Intern

    P.S. My jell-o memoir would be:

    Can't make jell-o creations like Mom.
