LIBRARY "BOOK REPORT"
We are pleased to
report that we had a full house (65) at Ina's recent Memoir Writing
Workshop sponsored by the Burbank Public
Library.
People who came included an Emmy Award winning comedy writer, a
creative writing teacher with an MFA in her field, actors, and folks
from many other walks of life, countries and eras.
Many thanks to Program and Publicity whiz,
Louise Paziak, and staff for all their support. Thanks also to Ms. Paziak for writing Ina:
"I wanted to thank you for providing our patrons with a
wonderfully creative afternoon. It was exhilarating to see such
a diverse group of people turning out for the class and
determined to improve their writing...Creative writing is still
vitally important in this era of text messaging and cell phones.
Everyone had a story to tell and it was really fascinating to
listen to them share their memories. I thoroughly enjoyed
sitting in on your class.”
