Program Description

Event Details

Writing instructor Bonnie Proudfoot explores the "Art of Expertise." What are you an expert at? What can you teach someone else? This creative writing workshop will use the notion that we have specialized knowledge—maybe from a job, a hobby, or just because we were raised, say, with dogs or horses or gardens, we are siblings, we have kids, or parents, etc. We can teach others something of significance from our life experience. Not everything we are an expert at needs to be a remarkable achievement. Some folks can teach others about how not to do something, say how not to speak a new language, how not to master a skill or sport. Tapping into our own expertise comes with its own vocabulary and physical awareness that we can bring into our writing, which makes our voices as authors unique.

This free program is part of our lifelong learning series, Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner, and, in part, by Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
