Our personal photos show what we care about and hope to preserve––the people, places, and experiences that bring meaning into our lives. Your photo stream is an excellent source of inspiration for writing rite-of-passage stories. A Rite of Passage story is a gift that keeps on giving. It can be about a transformation you, or your character, experiences at any age, from birth to elderhood, that involves a transformation from a younger innocent self to a new more experienced self. In this webinar, you will explore an experience that causes you (or your character) to learn something about the world around you that you were once naïve to. Whether you’re writing poetry or prose, memoir or a blog, family history or a monologue, your personal photos will be an excellent prompt to compelling writing.
Bring a photo that feels connected to any rite of passage you have experienced.
