Story to tell? Urge to write? Looking for inspiration? Let’s scratch that itch together. Unearth the tidbits of life through old photos. Then, look at the scene and imagine more: the smell of Dad’s cigar, the taste of Grandma’s pie, the scratch of Grandpa’s beard, the sound of your dog’s bark, and the feel of Mom’s hug. Express your memories in a captivating narrative. Weekly prompts will kickstart writing 300-500 words to be shared with the class. We will each read, listen, critique, and praise. Let’s remember and write together.

Moderator: Thomas Fahey, Cincinnatian, English major, XU. Teaching was his goal; but life is one big story whose plot is murky, whose telling requires lots of white-out. Forty-five years of supermarket retail filled his cup to overflowing. Retired, he works at his passions— photography, remembering, writing, and self-publishing.
