You may be wondering why this issue is so important to me? I had an abortion when I was 18. I have never regretted it.
My essay about the experience, “1994”, is forthcoming in an anthology edited by Aracelis Girmay.
I needed to write that story. And maybe you need to write yours too.
I believe in the power of story. That’s why I do the work I do. Why I write what I write. Why I created the Writing Our Lives Workshop.
And it’s why I created this class.
Had an abortion? Want to/Need to write your story about it?
Or maybe you had a miscarriage and had to have a D&C,
Or maybe it was an ectopic pregnancy.
Whatever it is/was, I created this class to help you write your story.
I will lead you through various exercises & prompts to get you underway.
Do you have to be a writer to take this class? No.
This class is for folks who:
- are writers
- are not writers
- are published
- are not published
- hope to publish their stories
- aren’t even thinking about publishing
- want to write their stories for themselves
- are undecided but know they need to write it now
