Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, poetry or song lyrics, you'll enjoy and benefit from this workshop. We'll look at choosing words to tell your story and learning to describe objects, people, places and emotions. This class is a great starting point for beginning writers and a creative re-energizer for those who have been writing for awhile.

Pathfinders

Pathfinders are guides to help you find information on specific topics, both online and from the library. I have created a pathfinder for a project for an Introduction to Reference class, and am providing a link on this blog. In the future I may create more pathfinders and will add them.

Here is the link to the first one. Perimenopause and Menopause Pathfinder I will also provide a link to this and any future pathfinders on the right. I hope you will find it useful.
