Are you thinking of joining 'As Time Goes By'?

15/12/2022

'As Time Goes By' provides an outlet and support for members keen to write about their lives and tell stories their families may not get around to asking them about.

A memoir is a slice from a person's life which focuses on a particular theme or lesson or flavour of experience, an aspect of life that is most unusual or fascinating.

Each month class members share stories responding to set 500 Words themed writing topics.

New members are invited to share a 500-word story at our first meeting for 2023 on 20th February from 2 - 4 pm, either 'I Was There', Have you experienced a significant news, historical or cultural event first-hand? , or 'New in Town', Have you ever been the new person in town?

However, it's fine to pass and enjoy the stories shared by others.

Please note that 'As Time Goes By' does not include writing skills sessions or cover writing a detailed, chronological autobiography.

'As Time Goes By' - Memoir Writing

A memoir captures a meaningful slice of life—a memory, a lesson, or an experience that stands out.

In our sessions, members come together to share short, reflective stories (up to 500 words) inspired by a new theme each month.

As Time Goes By is not a writing skills class, nor is it about creating a full autobiography.

It’s a space for those who want to record the stories that future generations might never think to ask about—a place to remember and share treasured moments in a welcoming, supportive environment with others who are also telling their stories.
