Darlene Frank to present “Writing Hard Stories” at Writers Helping Writers in San Mateo and Palo Alto

People who want to write a memoir often find themselves reluctant to begin or continue writing because of the nature of the story they want to tell. Maybe the story is dark, and you want to write without being pulled back into painful memories. Maybe your story will upset someone in your family if it’s published. Maybe you haven’t begun to write this story, because you don’t know where to start.

At Writers Helping Writers in November, you’ll discover how other writers have handled such stories and look at ways you can navigate the writing process so you feel less pressure and more safety as you tell your story—hard as it might be—in your own way.

Join Darlene Frank on Thursday, November 14, 6:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m. at San Mateo Public Library and on Thursday, November 21, 6:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. at Rinconada Library in Palo Alto.
