My story-telling workshop at the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Center (LARAC) in Glens Falls, N.Y., begins tonight (Thursday) and I’m much looking forward to it. Although the group is full, we opened it up to a 14-year-old aspiring writer and it will be a nice element to have someone that age in the class. We are meeting for four Thursdays and will work on coming up with story ideas, and at finding ways of telling them.

Stories are important. They are the fabric of our lives. They are critical to our identify and ability to free our inner, creative selves. They are central in much of the work we do, and in our own sense of identify.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and at the workshop, we’re going to help one another tell them. If the stories are good, we will find a way to get them out – a book, a show, some way of sharing them. The four-week workshop at LARAC will also be offered in August. This one is full. I can’t wait to meet the class. Izzy is coming along. Photos to follow.
