What a fantastic day in Palmerston North at t
Such a fantastic cup-filling day of collegiality, learning and laughter at Te Whare Wairua Mererikiriki for the NZSA Manawatū Roadshow on Saturday 8th June 2024.
In the opening kōrero I talked about beating distraction and finding space for stories, creativity and connections in our days.
In the memoir workshop, I used four memoirs to go deep into chronology, the ethics of reshaping / adding / moving things around, voice, and structure. An engaged and talented group—and that’s just the attendees! Much love and thanks to @kleharivel and @nzsocietyofauthors. Wonderful to witness the genius of the teachers: @helenmlehndorf @kathrynisawriter @hissingswan @cassie.hart.writes @gigifenster
